Why Contribute to Literature for All of Us

Charitable donations to Literature for All of Us help bring the rewards of reading and writing to young people in underserved neighborhoods.

Contributions help us make reading a positive, enjoyable experience through book group circles that engage and inspire young people.

Gifts enable us to purchase books that teens want to read and help build personal libraries.

Gifts help us offer literacy tools for teen parents to use with their young children and give young families quality children’s books.

Contributions allow us to celebrate and share the creative voices of young people through published poetry anthologies and public poetry readings.

All contributions are tax-deductible to the fullest extent of the law.

"I didn’t really like to spend time reading before, but now that we read books in book group it sometimes helps me to understand things from other peoples’ mistakes. Now I even read the newspaper!"
