The Coalition provides funds to community and faith-based programs that foster innovation, effectiveness, and responsibility. Funding opportunities range from a scholarship for a student's GED test to a small capacity grant to a program. But no matter the size, our funding supports the efforts of hard-working people.
In 2009, the Coalition awarded 10 grants to support Adult Basic Education (ABE), computer literacy, English as a Second Language/ English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESL/ESOL), refugee services, General Educational Development (GED) preparation and Spanish GED preparation classes.
