Without Reading, Where Would You Be?

Your help is vital to LVA’s low-literacy solution, because we rely on charitable contributions to keep our unique, student-centered programs free of charge for low-literacy adults in metro Atlanta (Fulton, DeKalb, Cobb and Gwinnett counties).

All Donations to LVA are Tax Deductible.

We are a 501 (c) (3) organization, so your donation is tax deductible. For more than 20 years, LVA has been Atlanta’s only adult literacy organization providing one-on-one tutoring exclusively to adults who read and write at or below the fifth-grade level.

We receive less than 14% of our funds from government or foundation grants, so we rely heavily on individuals like you who understand how crucial literacy is to improving lives.

Thanks to the support of such donors, we’ve grown from a small volunteer group to a leader in Atlanta’s adult literacy community. By donating now, you can help LVA continue to change the lives of hundreds of the adults and families every year.

Just a Few Examples of What Your Caring Can Do

As a lean, volunteer-based organization, LVA maximizes the use of every dollar — which means we deeply appreciate gifts of any size. A contribution of:

  • $25 pays for a family literacy assessment
  • $50 pays for training one volunteer tutor
  • $75 pays for testing and supplies for one student
  • $125 pays for supplies for an entire classroom
  • $200 pays for supplies for a class off-site

You can easily and securely donate to LVA online. Or you can mail your gift to:
