Big Day of Giving is Thursday, May 1, 2025!
[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]
Last year 5% of the total finds raised on Big Day of Giving went towards education and less than 1.5% wen towards early childhood literacy. Sacramento has a clear philanthropic gap in literacy funding. Your contributions will mean we can reach more kids and advance children’s literacy in Sacramento.
Today we want to highlight the work of other literacy non-profits in Sacramento and support more funds directed into early childhood literacy. Check out these non-profits below and consider supporting them in them in this years giving!
