The Dollar General Literacy Foundation
Dollar General's mission of "Serving Others" extends beyond our belief in providing our customers
quality basic merchandise they need at prices they can afford. We recognize the responsibility of being
a good neighbor and community partner and pledge to engage in philanthropic activities that empower
our neighbors to lead a better life.
During 2003, the Dollar General Literacy Foundation awarded grants to 110 non-profit literacy providers
serving more than 40,000 individuals and families. Our employees, customers and vendors contributed
more than $1.9 million dollars to the advancement of
literacy through our in-store literacy cash cube program
and other fundraising activities. Through the
Foundation's Learn to Read literacy referral program,
our store teams, in partnership with ProLiteracy
America, provided more than 9,000 customers with a
referral to a literacy program in their local community
that could help them learn to read, prepare for the GED
or learn English as another language free of charge.
