FINAL PUSH!
Update on the Augustine Literacy Project GoFundMe campaign:
At present, we've raised $7,743. We need to get to $12,500!
It's important for us to reach that target amount because a generous, long-term supporter has agreed to match all donations up to $12,500 received by the deadline, which is quickly approaching.
Essentially, every dollar donated to the campaign will be doubled. To maximize the generosity of our donor, we need to reach $12,500.

Why donate to Augustine Literacy Project?
As students returned to school this fall, many faced unprecedented challenges. A year of online learning has resulted in some of our most vulnerable children falling even further behind academically.
Augustine Literacy Project specifically targets early elementary school children from low-income households with below grade-level reading scores - a population at disproportionate risk for school failure, dropout, behavioral problems, and other challenges without skilled intervention.

We train and support volunteer tutors who provide free, long-term, one-to-one instruction using research-based, Science of Reading methodology.
$25,000 will allow us to recruit, train, place, and support 83 new volunteer tutors in schools throughout the area to help young students who desperately need our services.
