Program areas at The Dictionary Project

The Dictionary Project functions and strives to ensure that people throughout The united states and around The world are able to enjoy The benefits of owning a Dictionary. Program efforts are focused primarily on assisting all people in becoming good writers, active readers, creative thinkers, and resourceful learners by providing them with their own personal Dictionary. As an organization, we believe that a Dictionary is an essential tool for a quality education, and that one cannot do their best work without a Dictionary. The Dictionary Project makes people self-reliant by providing them with a resource that serves to help them better understand The world around them and further develop an appreciation of The connections that are formed with words. During 2022, approximately 913,000 dictionaries were given to students in The united states and around The world. With this resource, people can become more self-reliant and be better able to communicate their unique thoughts and ideas, by sharing their most innate gifts with others.
