Here is their blueprint for improving literacy which impacts pre-service educator training, professional development for university professors and teacher licensure.

conversation about generosity and to inspire more people to give. Would you share a

winning storytellers receiving grants up to $10,000 to give to their favorite nonprofit
organization.

2. Post your story: Go to our contest page and click on “Submit Here.” Select the nonprofit that would receive a grant if your story wins and upload your story.
3. Share your story on social media: The more votes you get, the better your chances of winning! Direct people to vote in the online gallery. The 20 stories with the most votes will be recognized as Finalists and submitted to the judging panel, who will select the winners.

1. Submit your essay (with an optional image) or video story between Nov 1st – Nov 30th.

As part of our community, we hope that you might take a few minutes to reflect on why giving
matters to you, share your story in the #MyGivingStory contest, and, of course, consider naming
