Give the Gift of Literacy

Don’t wait until the last day of the year to make a tax-deductible donation. Give the gift of literacy to kids in Norristown by making a donation today. 

Our children’s literacy rates are low which means the stakes are high.

Our children are struggling to read: only 35% of 4th graders in our district can read at a basic level and only 29% of kindergarteners scored at benchmark level on early literacy tests. 

The literacy needs are high. Norristown is a book desert and our school district is among the lowest funded districts in PA.

Norristown youth deserve better. 

We have an incredible opportunity to get books into the hands of our youngest learners and set them on a path to becoming proficient readers. Data shows that children who own books not only achieve higher reading scores but also view themselves as proficient readers. This is crucial for their academic development and self-confidence. 

You can make a difference.

Your support ensures that we can continue to provide free books and literacy programming to hundreds of kids in Norristown. 

📚 $50 funds new books for 10 kids

🧑‍🎓$10/month provides an entire kindergarten class with a set of books, ensuring that our youngest readers have books to enjoy at home.

Donations make great gifts! 

If you donate a gift in honor of someone, we'll email you a downloadable/printable card after your donation is complete. It's a great way to let your family and friends know about the impact of the gift you made in their name.
