Literacy NRV

Give the Gift of Literacy This Holiday Season

This holiday season—from Giving Tuesday through December 31—you can help transform lives right here in the New River Valley. When you support Literacy NRV, you’re giving more than a donation. You’re giving adults the chance to read with confidence, pursue new opportunities, support their families, and build a brighter future.

And right now, your gift goes twice as far! Every dollar will be matched until we reach $8,000, doubling your impact for local adults working to improve their literacy, English language skills, or complete their GED.

With a year-end goal of $25,000 (10% of our annual budget), your support ensures we can continue providing the instruction, resources, and encouragement our learners rely on all year long.

Why Your Gift Matters

The need in our community is real—and so is the hope you make possible:

• 24,000+ adults in our region struggle with reading.

• 7% of local households speak English “less than very well.”

• 9,000+ adults lack a high school diploma.

Your generosity helps adults in our community gain essential reading, writing, math, GED preparation, English for Speakers of Other Languages, and digital literacy skills. You’re giving the gift of confidence, opportunity, and belonging.

Your Holiday Impact

Your gift—matched dollar for dollar—can spark life-changing progress:

• $35 – Provides a textbook for an adult literacy student

• $55 – Supports training and mentorship for a volunteer tutor

• $100 – Offers family literacy instruction for a parent and child

• $150 – Gives a full GED scholarship to one motivated learner

• $250 – Covers a year of one-to-one tutoring for an adult student(With this gift, a book will be dedicated in your honor in our classroom library!)

Double Your Impact. Change a Life.

Your generosity this season helps every adult learner take a meaningful step toward their goals—from reading a prescription label with confidence to helping a child with homework, earning a credential, or advancing in a job.

🎁 Give today. Spread hope. Strengthen the New River Valley. Together, we can make this a season of possibility for every adult who walks through our doors.
