At this time of year, we look for ways to help those less fortunate than ourselves. The holidays are all about giving and if you want to get into the spirit of the season, please consider including Literacy Pittsburgh in your holiday traditions!
A charitable donation isn’t the kind of holiday gift that will end up on a shelf or in a closet in a few months — it will have long-lasting effects in creating better lives for those in our community. Literacy Pittsburgh has many ways you can support our students at this time of year, including Amazon Wish Lists, Target Circle, Give Big Pittsburgh, and more!
Shop on Amazon
There are two ways you can support Literacy Pittsburgh during your holiday shopping. Select Literacy Pittsburgh as your charity of choice through Amazon Smile and we will receive 0.5% of each purchase. While you are shopping, check out our wish lists packed with items that will benefit Family Literacy students and Literacy Pittsburgh’s day-to-day efforts. Items are shipped directly to Literacy Pittsburgh, making it quick and easy to fulfill a wish!
Vote on Target Circle
Literacy Pittsburgh has been chosen as a designated charity for the Target Circle program. If you are a Target shopper, you can cast your votes for our programs. Each qualifying transaction earns one vote, so you may have votes in your Target Circle app already. Earlier this year, we raised more than $5,000 from this program because of people like you.

Now, more than ever, Literacy Pittsburgh needs financial support to provide the free services that so many in our community rely on. Click here to make a donation through our secure online form.
Participate in Give Big Pittsburgh
Each year, Give Big Pittsburgh raises money for local nonprofits through a single online donation platform, providing a simple way to connect donors to the charitable causes they care about most. This 24-hour online fundraising effort, hosted by Pittsburgh Magazine and local sponsors, offers nonprofits the chance to raise funds to support their critical missions. Give on December 1 at the Give Big Pittsburgh website.
