The Youth Literacy Program
Currently we work with the Fairfax Library to offer an early readers/ young literacy program. The program has been serving pre-school and kindergarten, this year we will be expanding to serve 1st graders as well. Additionally we will be seeking other small community libraries to work with. If you know of a community library that can use support please contact noelle@agenerousheart.com.
BFA Fairfax Scholarship Program
For the 2021/2022 school year we will work with the guidance department at the BFA Fairfax High School to offer a few scholarships that are based on things other than academics. Our goal is to target students that are interested in writing, a creative/service career or an entrepreneurial business idea.
Founding Purpose
A Generous Heart® believes that providing students and young children with opportunities to read and learn that complement the traditional educational process will enable them to grow into adults that achieve their goals and manifest productive, successful lives that stand as a contribution to others. We believe that there is no greater reward in life than to leave everything you touch better than when you found it.
We help to give opportunities to students and young children so that they develop a lifelong love of reading and learning.
A generous heart will never care to go part way; it won’t be cowed if there is passage anywhere, but set out on the hardest road; nothing can cause it misery, and with faith soaring like a cloud it feeds on something I don’t know that one may come on randomly…”
