The Literacy Council of Northern Virginia is hosting its Golden Reunion this Sunday! This is a great opportunity to reconnect with old and new friends, and hear about the impact the Council has had on the lives of both instructors and learners. LCNV will recognize students and volunteers, as well as exceptional partners who have consistently supported our mission.
This year, LCNV is proud to recognize the Beverly M. Newport Memorial Fund and the Virginia Literacy Foundation. Read on to learn how these organizations have impacted LCNV and furthered our mission.
The Beverly M. Newport Memorial Fund has played a critical role in the development and success of the Literacy Council of Northern Virginia. The organization first made a generous gift in 1999, which established the Family Learning Program; this gift was then matched by the Freddie Mac Foundation. This launched what is today one of LCNV’s most sought after adult English language classes for parents of school aged children. The Student Scholarship and Advancement Fund, a restricted account to support exclusively those learners who cannot afford classroom, tutoring or book fees, was made possible by the support of the Beverly M. Newport Memorial Fund, as well as personal contributions from Bill Newport. Operating like a university financial aid fund, this fund provides about 37% of adults financial assistance to LCNV’s programs.
It is evidenced in its history that the Virginia Literacy Foundation believes in partnerships and collaboration. It has long been a partner with the Literacy Council of Northern Virginia for over fifteen years, contributing more than $100,000 to support literacy and language education. In addition, the Foundation provides ongoing support in program improvement, technology and professional development through special grants, training workshops, and the annual Virginia Literacy Leadership Conference. The Literacy Council of Northern Virginia is an active participant in all of their programs.
