Jane Austen Literacy Foundation

About this Organization

Founded by Caroline Jane Knight, Jane Austen’s fifth great niece, the Jane Austen Literacy Foundation is a registered not for profit organisation run by volunteers. The Foundation connects a world-wide grass roots community of people who believe in the power of literacy and want to help those who need it, particularly at this time of international education crisis. In this post-Covid world, learners need more support than schools can provide - we all have a role to play in closing the education and literacy gap - and individuals need community connections, now more than ever. That is why our mission is to Connect Through Literacy.
