Additional Announcements
DFOWW Incorporated’s special online reading and writing workshop curriculum differs from the 14-week Write-Right Literacy Program (WRLP), which requires interested participants to meet certain requirements to register and enroll. We believe providing free special online workshops helps to provide supplementary academic support to individuals on the path to literacy proficiency. These workshops are open to everyone (both locally and globally) but target low-income and minority individuals in our immediate communities.
The WRLP is a 14-week adult literacy program that prepares adults to successfully take the Reasoning Through Language Arts (RLA) portion of the GED test. United States residents, 18 years or older, wanting to obtain their GED/RLA are encouraged to apply. At-risk 16- & 17-year-old youth seeking enrollment will be considered with verifiable parental consent. Interested candidates should complete the WRLP application under our website’s Write-Right Literacy Program category.
Program participants must maintain a 70% overall cumulative grade average while enrolled in the program. In addition, during the final week of the semester, only program participants with a 70% average or above will be issued a voucher for $40 to cover the cost of the RLA exam. The nonprofit organization will assist eligible students in registering for the RLA examination at a state-approved in-person testing facility. Our goal is to help 300 participants each fiscal year through our programs.
The Write-Right Literacy Program spring semester start date is January 9, 2023 – May 3, 2023. Spring Semester: January 9, 2023 – May 3, 2023.
Students must submit their application by the following dates:
Registration begins November 28, 2022, and the registration deadline is December 30, 2022.
Another program we offer is the Write-Right Nutrition Program (WRNP). This program addresses the food insecurity challenges that disproportionally impact low-income communities and families with children on the path to literacy. Under this program, all WRLP registered participants, in compliance with program guidelines, will also receive free food and grocery gift cards to purchase food for themselves and their children. In addition, we have officially opened our nutrition program to include senior citizens who are low-income and/or experience food insecurity. For more information and how to apply, please email us at info@dfoww.org.
In other news, The Papa John’s Foundation Building Community Fund is a program for franchisees and restaurant operators to apply for grants to support nonprofit organizations in their communities. The Foundation’s philanthropic approach focuses on three areas: Youth Leadership & Entrepreneurship, Food Security, and Food Waste Reduction.
Last month in November 2022, the Papa John’s Foundation Building Community Fund awarded DFOWW Incorporated a $10,000.00 grant to help fund the Write-Right Nutrition Program. Our nonprofit organization was awarded this grant for our amazing work in the community! We thank The Papa John’s Foundation Building Community Fund and a local corporate Executive, Ms. Darlene DaSilva, for the grant funding and their support.
In an effort to help build the community, we offer academic literacy, nutrition, and community resource workshops. If you are interested in learning more about our programs and event booking fees, please email us at info@dfoww.org.

Because we are a 501(c)3 federal tax-exempt nonprofit charity organization, all donations made to the charity organization qualify as a tax write-off. We are currently seeking technical writers, computer science majors, I.T. specialists, editors, grant writers, and those with marketing and finance experience to serve on our Board of Directors.
