Dolly Parton Invests $4.5 Million to Kickstart Nashville’s Early Literacy Initiative
Dolly Parton is more than just a music legend—she’s a dedicated philanthropist with a passion for giving back. One cause especially close to her heart is early childhood literacy. Through her Dollywood Foundation, which oversees the renowned Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library, she’s now supporting Nashville’s youngest learners with a $4.5 million investment. The generous donation will be used to launch the Nashville Public Library’s new early literacy initiative, Begin Bright.
