Children First, the exclusive provider of Head Start and Early Head Start services in Sarasota County, recently received nearly $50,000 in support for the community’s most vulnerable children, birth to age 5, and their families.
The agency received $15,000 from the Eluned & Edward Russell Charitable Foundation through the Community Foundation of Sarasota County for The Challenge for Changing Lives – Children First’s 60th anniversary challenge match campaign.
Grant funds that will also be matched by The Challenge include $15,000 from the Libertore Fund for Children, $5,000 from the Venice Golf & Country Club Foundation, $4,000 from Paycom for scholarship support, $4,700 from the Plantation Community Foundation, $2,000 from Synovus in support of the Families First Institute, and $2,000 from Car Credit of Tampa as their featured nonprofit for the month of April.
Libertore Fund for Children, Inc. has awarded $10,000 to
Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Sun Coast for its site-based Reading Bigs program for children in kindergarten through third grade, in Sarasota and Manatee counties.
The Reading Bigs initiative serves underprivileged students whose reading proficiency is below the minimum standards set by the student s school board, and who have been identified by school personnel as unlikely to pass the Florida Standards Assessment for English Language Arts, and unlikely to earn grade-level promotion.
Through the Reading Bigs one-to-one mentoring initiative, mentors facilitate reading activities that support the emergence of a love of reading and an improvement in reading proficiency during regularly scheduled match meetings.
