Donate to READ Saskatoon

Whether you are an individual or corporation, choosing to support an organization is an important decision. By donating to READ Saskatoon, you are making an investment in the economic and educational well-being of adults and families in our community.

Literacy is important; more than 1/3 of Saskatchewan’s population experience daily challenges because of low literacy. For over 30 years READ Saskatoon has delivered free literacy programs to address this issue. We work with people to become more active citizens in the community and more employable in the workforce. We help families, volunteer tutors and adult learners enrich each other’s lives through literacy. Your donations support our work to help address every Saskatoon family’s wish for economic and social success.

Your gift is needed and appreciated, and truly does help Saskatoon adults and families embark on a path to a brighter future. With your support, READ Saskatoon can continue to provide literacy services across the city to hundreds of adults and families.

READ Saskatoon takes its responsibility to our donors seriously. We adhere to the highest standards of fiscal responsibility. The Canada Revenue Agency says that 80% of monies received through donations must be allocated to program expenses. We are proud to report that our organization dedicates more than 95% of donations to our programs and services.

Your donation will make a difference. For example:

  • $250 will train, match and support the work of one volunteer and one adult learner.
  • $500 will support one month of Families Together.
  • $1,000 will support READ Saskatoon’s Good Book Bins for a year.
  • $2,500 will provide training and resources for twenty Adult and Family Literacy volunteers.

Your donation will benefit adults and families working to improve their basic literacy skills in order to succeed. Please call us at 652-5448 to make a donation. We accept major credit cards.

“READ Saskatoon has given me the skills that I need to make a difference to myself. I know that the change must come from within. READ Saskatoon is here to help me.”

Literacy is crucially important … I know this is true because my learner has taught me this. In our years together I have seen her start a business, become a volunteer and a voter, as well as reader of our daily newspaper. And if her personal achievements are astounding, even more significant is the impact her learning is having on her children.
Lisa Vargo, READ Saskatoon tutor
