Corporate Partnerships

An investment in tomorrow’s workforce.

Did you know that in the 21st century 60% of all jobs will require skills that only 20% of the current workforce has?

We are facing unprecedented economic and social challenges ranging from the forces of global competition to the impending retirement of 77 million baby boomers. Succeeding in this new era will require our workforce to be prepared for the intellectual demands of the modern workplace and a far more complex society.

Literacy is the critical path forward.

By leveraging your dollars with our extraordinary volunteer commitment of over 14,000 hours per year, the Literacy Council is a sound investment in the future.

Please contact our Development Director to discuss your gift and request a Corporate Partner Gift Form.   If you prefer, you can make your donation securely online through our Facebook account.   Simply click on the Donate Online button at the bottom of this page.
