Literary Society of the Southwest

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. The Literary Society advances and impacts the cause of literacy in Arizona through advocacy, grantmaking, and volunteer opportunities.

Every season, the Literacy Grant Challenge offers our members a way to take action and become directly involved in improving literacy in Arizona. We look forward to launching next season's Challenge on October 1, 2025.

Giving to the Literacy Grant Challenge invests in Arizona's children and youth's academic and life success and emotional and intellectual development. Children who struggle with reading proficiency by third grade dramatically limit their education options, employment, and income potential, continuing the cycle of illiteracy.
