Special Ways Your Company Can Help

Corporations have a special interest in increasing literacy levels because of the Commonwealth's need for an educated, well-trained work force. For more information on the strong link between literacy and economic productivity, click here.

Your company can participate in or become the sponsor of one of our literacy related special events.

• Send your three best spellers to bring home the Boston Corporate Champion Speller Cup by winning our annual Corporate Spelling Bee, which is the oldest in the nation.
• Sponsor our READ for CHANGE within your company by matching the amount raised by your employees.
• Create your own company event to benefit the Boston Adult Literacy Fund. Some creative ideas that have benefited BALF include: charging for the 'right' to wear casual clothes on Fridays; holding an on-site book sale; auctioning computers and other office equipment.

Nothing is more effective than a grant from a corporate foundation. If your company has a foundation, you can email us information by clicking here. If you wish to make a company contribution, click here to download a contribution form.
