Make a donation
Good reasons for giving now
Because education remains the most effective, enduring means of combating poverty.
Whether you choose to support children through The Gift of Reading® or their parents through the telephone assistance and referral lines, you are contributing to forcing illiteracy to retreat and reducing the school dropout rate. In making a donation, you are helping our society achieve its full potential.
