The Children’s Literacy Foundation (CLiF) was founded 1998 with a mission to inspire a love of literacy among under-resourced children in New Hampshire and Vermont. CLiF’s first program launched in March of that year, providing books and presentations to rural libraries.

The successful debut led to expanded programming, which ultimately became the seven unique grants CLiF offers today: Year of the Book, Rural Library, Children of Incarcerated Adults, Summer Readers, Community Literacy, Literacy Enrichment and Spark.

Today, CLiF’s community partners include public elementary schools, libraries, social service providers, preschools, after-school programs, community centers, low-income housing sites, and correctional facilities, among others. Programming is offered year-round with a focus on offering equitable access to high-quality literacy resources and materials.
