In October of 2025, Ellavoz Impact Capital (EIC) announced the launch of Ellavoz Children’s Literacy Foundation (ECLF), a 501(c)(3) not for profit located in New Jersey.

The Foundation’s mission is to promote literacy in underserved communities by encouraging the connection between authors, books and young readers.

This academic year, schools in Newark, NJ and Jacksonville, FL have applied for a grant which will provide the winning schools with a full-day author visit. Prior to the visit, the chosen schools will be sent a complete set of that author’s books for the school library. In addition, every student will receive their own book to take home and keep.

The Foundation recognizes that not every child enjoys reading or connects to books, but meeting an author can change this. When a student meets the author of a book they have read, or that has been read to them, the connection between the author, book, and reader becomes dynamic and this dynamism can spark an interest in reading and words and writing that can positively impact their future as a reader.
