With CFA Support, Three States Win $150+ Million to Support Student Literacy

The Community Funding Accelerator (CFA) announced today that all three states it recently supported with applications won U.S. Department of Education grants, resulting in up to $153 million to support hundreds of thousands of students learning to read more effectively.
Earlier this month, Massachusetts, Nebraska, and Ohio each won a Comprehensive Literacy State Development grant, with possible total awards ranging from $38 million to $60 million over five years depending on appropriations from Congress and grantee progress. The funding comes at a critical time as states move to implement practices backed by the science of reading just as COVID-related federal funding is running out. Read the full press release here.
