June 2, 2026 – The Dollar General Literacy Foundation (DGLF) recently awarded South Florida State College (SFSC) a $10,000 grant to support adult literacy through its Adult Education Department. The funds contribute to a record-setting, single-day total of nearly $16 million in grants nationwide supporting adult, family, and summer literacy programs in the 48 states where Dollar General operates. The milestone surpasses the Foundation’s previous record of more than $13.2 million granted in May 2025.
“We are incredibly grateful to the Dollar General Literacy Foundation for its investment in our students and our community,” said Courtney Green, director for adult education and technical dual enrollment at SFSC. “These funds will allow us to provide updated instructional materials, expand access to educational software, and help cover GED testing costs for adult learners who are working hard to improve their lives through education. Every day, we see students overcome significant obstacles to achieve their goals, and this support helps remove barriers that could otherwise prevent them from crossing the finish line. We are excited about the opportunities this grant creates and the positive impact it will have on the individuals and families we serve.”
SFSC Adult Education serves over 1,000 students annually through GED® preparation, Adult Basic Education, and ESOL instruction. Participants receive targeted literacy, math, and workforce-aligned instruction designed to increase reading levels, improve English proficiency, and support credential attainment.
“Since the Foundation’s inception in 1993, our focus has remained on making meaningful investments in students, teachers, and the organizations that support literacy and learning at every stage of life,” said Denine Torr, executive director of the Dollar General Literacy Foundation. “We are grateful for the impact teachers and educators make every day and are excited to have another record setting year of helping expand literacy access for learners of all ages. These funds will help educators enhance their instruction and create opportunities that help empower students to reach their full potential.”
The Dollar General Literacy Foundation supports organizations that increase access to educational programming, stimulate and enable innovation in the delivery of educational instruction and inspire a love of reading. Each year, DGLF awards funds to nonprofit organizations, schools, and libraries within a 15-mile radius of a Dollar General store or distribution center to support adult, family, summer and youth literacy programs. The Foundation also offers a student referral program for individuals interested in learning how to read, speak English, or prepare for the high school equivalency exam. Referrals to a local organization that provides free literacy services are available online or through referral cards found in the Learn to Read brochures that are available at the cash register of every Dollar General store.
The Foundation plans to launch its seventh annual The Yellow Glasses Project campaign on Monday, July 20, 2026, in which customers can purchase yellow sunglasses at Dollar General stores for $2 each to benefit the DGLF.
