The Literacy Alliance is a nonprofit organization that relies on the financial support of individuals, foundations, organizations, and corporations. Our donors help us continue our work of empowering adult students to reach their educational goals. There are so many ways to give: through financial gifts; donations of supplies, books, or classroom space; or by becoming a tutor or volunteer.
Make a monetary gift to support the immediate needs of our students. Your entire donation will go directly to our programming and be able to help immediately. It costs approximately $600 per year per student to operate our programs.

Hi Lo Library Book Drive
Interested in hosting a book drive for the Literacy Alliance? We’d love to have you help!
Literacy Alliance adult students need high interest/low reading level (hi-lo) books. Hi-lo books have content or plot that appeal to adults but are written at a lower reading level for those trying to improve their literacy skills.
You can order hi-lo books from our Amazon wish list at https://a.co/g3D8WwC or the other links below.
