If you choose to leave a donation to Project Literacy in your will, your support will help adults in our community achieve their full potential through learning. They in turn will pass on their acquired appreciation for lifelong learning to their children, so your legacy will benefit generations to come.
Planned gifts are more essential than ever to organizations working to enhance our collective quality of life. Individual Canadians are increasingly stepping forward to fill the gaps in funding created by today’s economic realities.
