The Alphabet Project

Literacy Partners is selling the letters of the alphabet to 26 “blue chip” companies who are leaders in the industry and the community. Your contribution will have an immediate and long-term impact.

Annually, only 26 companies can be part of The Alphabet Project - Changing Lives One Letter at a Time - Alphabet sponsors are acknowledged annually in a full-page ad in the New York Times. View last year’s ad.

Your company can secure up to a 3-year, exclusive sponsorship of a letter for $10,000 a year – that’s less than $1,000 a month. And, just $1,000 will provide classes for a full year to a dedicated adult learner.

Illiteracy costs American business and industry billions of dollars each year in lost productivity. Your contribution will have an immediate and long-term impact on the adult learners we teach and their children — learning to read breaks the cycle of poverty

And, Literacy Partners is a smart investment. We are the only nationally accredited program in New York City. We have a 30-year track record of changing lives, one reader at a time.
