We are excited to announce the Help Us Grow (H.U.G.) Foundation Inc. has been selected as a 2024 Library of Congress Literacy Award Successful Practice Honoree. This prestigious recognition highlights our commitment to improving literacy rates and fostering a love of reading in underserved communities across the U.S.

The Library of Congress Literacy Awards, established in 2013 by philanthropist David M. Rubenstein, honor organizations that have made significant contributions to advancing literacy. These awards spotlight innovative practices that help combat illiteracy and promote widespread literacy efforts. As a Successful Practice Honoree, the H.U.G. Foundation joins a select group of organizations that have demonstrated exceptional implementation of literacy programs, contributing to lasting educational improvements.

This recognition underscores the impact of our evidence-based literacy initiative, which focuses on creating accessible, cost-effective solutions for students in need. By partnering with schools and communities, the H.U.G. Foundation continues to strive toward our goal of universal literacy, ensuring that every child has the opportunity to reach their full potential.
