Opening Books and Opening Doors

Technology is changing the ways people communicate, learn, and use information. It is expanding the definition of literacy beyond basic reading skills. It is becoming necessary for individuals to be proficient in writing, speaking English, computing, and problem-solving as well.

The Comcast Literacy Fund is dedicated to advancing the broader definition of literacy through support of organizations focused on developing reading skills, numeracy, computer literacy, English-as-a-second-language programs, and media literacy. With improved literacy comes greater opportunity for everyone, everywhere.

Here's how the Comcast Literacy Fund truly works.

• Proactively identifies local reading programs
• Provides grants to those programs through The Comcast Foundation
• Uses Comcast's resources to bring more visibility to local programs
• Provides employee volunteers to local reading organizations
