Dollar General Funds Youth Literacy Across Indiana | Indianapolis News

Dollar General Literacy Foundation just poured over $4 million nationwide — including $1.6M in Indiana — into 31 local grants to supercharge youth literacy, reaching more than 16,500 kids across communities from Lafayette to Indianapolis. Big awards like $5K went to Boys & Girls Clubs, Nicholson Elementary, and Youth Link Southern Indiana, fueling new books, tech, and teacher training. Part of a statewide push near Dollar General stores, with 2027 applications opening in January, this initiative builds on the Yellow Glasses Project’s $9M+ raised since 2020 — all aimed at giving every young mind the tools to thrive.
