Make An Investment

 

You can help change lives and establish a legacy of literacy for many Sarasota County adults and their families! 

​

Your donation to the Literacy Council of Sarasota helps provide literacy instruction to change the lives of adults who want to become self sufficient, improve the their lives as well as their family's, and make a meaningful contribution to our community by improving their literacy skills.

 

Your financial gift supports their hard work to learn literacy-related skills that many of us take for granted: fill out a job application, improve employment skills, open a bank account, register to vote, use a computer, read to their children, or earn their GED. Your gift helps break the cycle of poverty for many held back by lack of basic literacy skills.

 

Please help us share the power of literacy! The Literacy Council of Sarasota is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization. We depend on the generosity of your tax-deductible gift to provide the support and instruction our adult learners need to succeed.
