Our generous members allowed us to grant $103,500 to nonprofit literacy programs in Arizona last season! Member responses and feedback have encouraged and inspired us to expand our giving and impact capacity through this year's Literacy Grant Challenge. 

THE 2024-2025 LITERACY GRANT CHALLENGE STARTS NOW!

Our goal is to raise $76,500 between now and December 31st, building on our earmarked budget of $38,500 and providing $115,000 in grant awards to literacy programs this season. 

Literacy support and fostering strong literacy skills in Arizona's children and young readers is an essential pillar of our mission and the cornerstone of our grantmaking. Improving literacy means investing in their academic and life success and emotional and intellectual development. Research and statistics underscore this belief, revealing that children who struggle with reading proficiency by third grade dramatically limit their education options, employment, and income potential, continuing the cycle of illiteracy.

Our grants continue to play a pivotal role in addressing this challenge head-on, benefiting several organizations through our members' collective giving and generosity. We need your help reaching this mission benchmark, bridging the literacy gap, and paving the way for a brighter future for the next generation of young readers.
