Support

United for Literacy is a Canadian organization that believes that literacy changes lives. Each year, over 30,000 children, youth, and adults in 191 urban, rural, and remote places across Canada (including over 90 Indigenous communities) gain access to reading, writing, math, basic skills, and other programs, in person and online, supported by up to 1,600 trained volunteer tutors. United for Literacy programs are free for users, thanks to our generous donors.

Any gifts over $25 made by December 31, 2023, will be matched, dollar for dollar, up to $40,000 by Lynn MacDonald, a former Board member and longtime supporter of United for Literacy's mission. Take advantage of this exciting opportunity to have your generosity doubled.
