Support Adult Literacy

Gemma’s 15th Anniversary Fundraising Campaign

15 years ago, Gemma was founded to help adults and young adults with low literacy discover the joy and life-changing power of reading.

Since we started in 2008, continued support from generous donors has empowered Gemma to publish more than 50 books, 23 audiobooks, & 25 free teaching resources. We have reached new emerging adult readers all over the globe, built important literacy partnerships, and grown our library of HiLo books, audiobooks, eBooks, and teaching resources. Thank you!

As Gemma embarks on our 15th year, we hope you will join us in increasing our impact and building a foundation for the organization’s future.

Our $25,000 fundraising goal will help us:

• publish at least four new HiLo books with eBook and audiobook versions,
• engage writers and teachers to produce dozens of new resources,
• donate bundles to more libraries and literacy groups
• collaborate with teachers and mentors at two significant conferences, and
• create an Innovation Fund to power the use of new teaching technology and tools.

We hope you will join the celebration with a gift to fund adult literacy resources today!

Why Give

More than 43 million Americans cannot read above the third-grade level. Every HiLo book we publish encourages the enjoyment of reading, a key step towards proficiency.  Your support allows us to publish engaging, smart literature for people who struggle to read, comprehend English, or finish a book.

While any amount is helpful, here’s what your generous gift can do:

• $100 enables us to donate 5 books to a library or literacy organization
• $150 allows us to create a complete reading guide
• $200 funds the development of a SnapRead!

Each book, audio or teaching aid is a result of YOUR generous commitment to literacy.
