The Reading Partnership Receives TD Bank Grant to Scale Literacy Programs Across Canada

By Sarah Sacheli

While a student at the University of Windsor, she organized the first African Diaspora Festival, AfroFest. Once out in the working world, Cox founded The Reading Partnership, a non-profit organization that delivers literacy programs to some of Toronto’s poorest neighbourhoods.

Now, armed with a $750,000 grant from TD Bank, Cox will be able to say she is helping parents across the country teach their children to read.

Cox’s organization has won a TD Ready Challenge grant to help address predicted learning loss due to the pandemic. The Reading Partnership will use the grant to expand its early literacy programming to new communities across Canada.
