Donor Benefits
The spirit and drive of our volunteer tutor community is like rocket fuel to our organization. This group of life-long learners have a passion for helping others flourish, and a willingness to provide their time and knowledge for free. Nevertheless, it takes hard currency to run our learning centre.
Fortunately, our donors understand the importance of investing in people as well as our tutors. Our donors and tutors are, in fact, bound together by a common vision in which everyone in the Okanagan has the foundational literacy skills to fulfill their potential at work, at home and in the community. If you share our vision, please consider helping us by becoming a sponsor of Project Literacy. We have a number of programs available or we may customize something that works for you and your company.

The ability to provide financial support and sponsorship to Project Literacy differs from one organization to the next, so sponsors of Project Literacy are welcome to contribute at any one of six levels. With each level comes a different set of tangible benefits. Project Literacy is grateful to all sponsors, regardless of their contribution level.
