PETER GZOWSKI FOUNDATION FOR LITERACY

The Peter Gzowski Foundation for Literacy provides funding and support to literacy programs across Canada, with a focus on helping adults and children improve their reading and writing skills. The foundation awards grants to organizations working on the ground in communities, including many across Toronto and the GTA, that directly teach literacy or remove barriers to learning. By backing local nonprofits and schools, the foundation helps bridge educational gaps that affect employment, health outcomes, and quality of life. The foundation's grants enable programs ranging from one-on-one tutoring and family literacy initiatives to workplace training and digital literacy courses. The work reflects a belief that literacy is foundational to individual dignity and community strength.
