🎉🪅 Dollar-for-dollar challenge is LIVE! 🎉🪅

Well, this is exciting. One of our Foundation Board members is offering a dollar-for-dollar match (up to $7,000!) through Tuesday, November 11. This means your contribution will be doubled. $1 becomes $2. $25 becomes $50. $44 becomes $88. Just typing that is making my love of math double, too. 

This is a huge opportunity for us to get closer to our $58,500 goal (we’re 6% there now, and could jump to 30% with this match). If we can raise $7,000 this week, we’ll actually raise $14,000. Whoa. 

Here’s the impact your donation can make:

• $25 provides one month of Teaching Fellow’s supplies

• $50 allows a Fellow to extend their tutoring hours

• $100 gives one Fellow an additional lesson shadowing opportunity

• $200 starts to offset orientation and onboarding costs for one Fellow

• $1,400 provides a community event led by Fellows: storytime, family literacy night or a local festival pop-up

Imagine that, doubled! (It’s way better than imagining a world without literacy.) 

But to quote one of our faves from PBS, don’t take my word for it. Check out Fellow alum Ella Holton-McCoy’s perspective on how the Teaching Fellowship shaped her career:
