MCAEL Supporters

We are grateful to the generous supporters who help strengthen our community through adult English literacy

Together we are building strong communities and an effective Montgomery County workforce.


We extend our ongoing special gratitude to Montgomery County Government as the primary funder of MCAEL and the coalition. MCAEL publishes an annual report in which we recognize all supporters. The list below acknowledges our primary, corporate and foundation donors.
