**Re: Notice of Grant Award — $150,000 · Adult Literacy Program**

Dear Mr. Bello:

Following review under the Foundation's 2026 grant cycle, the Board of Directors of the Ellencourt Family Foundation has approved a grant to Bellwether Literacy Project (EIN 39-84•••••) in the amount of **one hundred fifty thousand dollars ($150,000)**.

**Purpose.** This grant supports your adult literacy program — one-to-one tutoring, small-group instruction, and the materials that go with them — serving adult learners across greater Bridgeport. The funds are restricted to that program and may be applied to instructional staff, tutor training, and learner materials as your team sees fit.

**Payment.** The $150,000 will be paid by check or ACH transfer, to be arranged with your office upon return of the acceptance below. Please send deposit instructions to the Foundation Coordinator; any wire or routing coordinates are held on the custody side and recorded in our files only as [REDACTED — SPECIMEN].

**Reporting.** We ask for a brief written report within twelve (12) months describing the number of adult learners served and the progress they made. A short interim update ahead of the Foundation's grant-cycle board meeting on **November 5, 2026** would be appreciated.

Literacy opens every other door, and we are glad to help hold this one open in Bridgeport.

Sincerely,

<br>

**Catherine Ellencourt**
Chair, Board of Directors
The Ellencourt Family Foundation
