Give Now
Literacy Partners supporters share significant rewards from their donations. Though their gifts, donors get the personal fulfillment of knowing that they have made a meaningful investment in the community.
Donors also experience the satisfaction of knowing that they are helping to bring the joy of reading into the homes of their less fortunate fellow New Yorkers. The following page outlines the many ways you can donate right away, but there are other options of Planned Giving.
