Ways to Give

Support the Literacy Council in a way that is meaningful to you. Opportunities include Annual Giving, Lovers of Literacy recurring gifts, Giving Circle membership through a three-year commitment of $3,000, Major Gifts, and Legacy Giving. Every gift helps expand access to literacy services in our community. Donors may also make tribute or memorial gifts, and businesses can engage through a variety of sponsorship opportunities.

Donors can also build the Literacy Council’s endowment fund through a gift to the Betty Seligmann Literacy Endowment Fund, established at the Community Foundation of Frederick County with her family’s support in memory of the Literacy Council’s first tutor trainer.
