Why Donate?

It is an investment in the Loudoun community. Your contribution will help maintain and expand the Loudoun Literacy programs in order to provide people with vital life skills. This, in turn, can help reverse the following social maladies:

  • Poverty and illiteracy are tragically interlinked.
  • Over 80% of all adults and youths incarcerated for the first time are illiterate.
  • A child from a non-reading family is 8 times more likely to drop out of school.
  • Children who start school behind and live in educationally disadvantaged homes get further behind and often fail to acquire basic skills.
  • Employees are at risk for injury or dismissal because they cannot read simple instructions.
