Ethel Johnson Literacy Grant RFP from Jeane Johnson
Ethel Johnson Literacy Grant
Funding for projects that enhance reading
AAUW member Ethel Johnson was raised in rural Wisconsin and was committed to education throughout her life. She began college in the depression years and dedicated her life to the teaching profession, retiring from Hudson Schools at the age of 70. The lives she touched during this time are a testament to her values, foremost a love of reading backed by patience and skill.
She volunteered whenever she could and a favorite was AAUW, an organization whose goals of equity Ethel embodied. The River Falls AAUW branch and friends of Ethel have established this fund to honor her memory.
Thank you to all the individual donors who make this grant possible and thank you, in advance, for submitting the application to support reading.
