Organizations Supported by Fight for Children

 


Matthew Vlasic donates to multiple charitable organizations. One of the organizations that Matthew Vlasic supports is Fight for Children, which raises funds that it then uses to support high-performing nonprofits in Washington, DC. Last year, Fight for Children raised more than $800,000, which was divided among many deserving organizations, including:

- Literacy Lab, a nonprofit that offers targeted reading interventions for young children. With its grant, the organization placed full-time tutors in two additional elementary schools. The mentors will work directly with the students who have the greatest needs for literacy support.

- Project Zero, which through the support of Fight for Children, launched Children Are Citizens. The project partnered with 20 teachers in Title I elementary schools to provide a five-step curriculum for encouraging civic engagement among students.

- Turning the Page, a 20-year-old nonprofit that focuses on increasing school-based family engagement to improve reading outcomes. With the funding that it received, the organization expanded its program to reach many dozens of new families.
