Funding Requests

 

Legs for Literacy’s fundraising efforts focus on enhancing reading and writing literacy skills in Southeastern New Brunswick.

​​

Our approach to giving is centered on maximizing the impact of distributed funds to specifically improve reading and writing literacy in the Southeastern NB region. In keeping with Legs for Literacy’s history, we strive to support both English and French programs, ensuring benefits for adults and children alike. We also prioritize a long-term approach that values quality over quantity.  Funding requests for capital (building) projects or endowment funds will not be accepted.
