Colorado Family Literacy Education Fund
House Bill 02-1303 concerning the establishment of a Family Literacy Education Grant Program was signed into law by Governor Owens as the Colorado Family Literacy Act of 2002. The legislation supports the educational development of adults and children within a family unit, as an effective strategy in closing the achievement gap.

Colorado Family Literacy Education Grant Program
Any funds made available by the state legislature are to be awarded on a competitive basis to address family literacy needs for Colorado residents. Grants are awarded for one year only. If funds are made available in subsequent years, previously funded programs may apply again.
Colorado Family Literacy Education Fund (FLEF) Grantees FY09 and FY10
The following programs were awarded FLEF grants for FY09 and FY10. (For FY10, there was no state budget appropriation for the FLEF program, but a small amount was made available for continuation of currently-funded activities. All FY09-funded programs with the exception of Phillips County Family Education Services applied and were granted activity funds for FY10.)
