We are honored to be featured in Palm Beach Society Magazine for our philanthropic response to transform children’s literacy!

With over 50 percent of Palm Beach County third graders unable to pass their reading assessments, the future of a highly educated, local workforce is at risk.

That’s why we created the Early Literacy Fund to help nonprofit organizations focused on improving youth literacy rates in Palm Beach and Martin Counties.

“Third grade is a turning point, with studies showing that children who can’t read on grade level by the end of third grade are four times more likely to not graduate high school. That’s why our vision is to make 2024 a transformative year for children’s literacy.” - Jeffrey A. Stoops, Chair of the Board of Directors of the Community Foundation for Palm Beach and Martin Counties
