Little Gifts. Every month.
Endless Impact.
Growing Readers Private Donor
You don’t need to write a big check to grow a reader. For $10 a month, about the cost of two coffees, you can put books and learning materials in the hands of a young person in northern Michigan for a whole year. Monthly gifts are our steadiest support. They let us plan programs, order books, and keep our doors open as a safe, welcoming space for kids and families across Grand Traverse, Leelanau, Benzie, Antrim, and Kalkaska counties.
