Local residents have the opportunity to make a significant impact on Vermont’s youth by contributing to a fundraising effort that aims to provide 400 books to children in need. As of now, just 53 books remain to reach this goal.
Details of the Vermont Book Matching Donation
On Saturday, June 6, donations made before midnight will be matched by a generous Vermont donor, effectively doubling the value of each contribution. This initiative supports the Children’s Literacy Foundation (CLiF) and aims to enhance literacy among Vermont’s children.
Childrens Literacy Foundation CLiF Partnership
Here’s what your donation can achieve:
- Provide a brand-new book to a Vermont child.
- Support independent journalism in our state.
For many children, this may be the first book they have ever owned. The support from local readers is crucial for maintaining the flow of journalism that serves our community.
Why Support This Vermont Early Literacy Fundraiser?
Libbie Sparadeo, Director of Membership and Engagement at VTDigger, emphasizes the importance of reader contributions, stating, “We’re so close to the finish line. Will you support VTDigger and the news readers of tomorrow?” All donations will directly benefit both early literacy programs and trusted journalism.
How to Donate Books to Vermont Youth
The Vermont Book Shop is underwriting each donation of a brand-new children’s book made through CLiF, ensuring that 100% of gifts support VTDigger’s journalism efforts. Residents are encouraged to donate and help foster literacy in our youth.
Thank you for considering this opportunity to invest in the future of Vermont’s children and the integrity of our local news.
