Your support is essential to the success of the adults we serve.
When you donate to the Cape Fear Literacy Council, every dollar you give fuels the learning journey of an adult in our community. Your commitment to providing the resources our students need to succeed empowers them to achieve their goals and makes a tremendous difference to our programs. Financial contributions, donating books, investing your time — every action counts!

Corporate Support
Cape Fear Literacy Council’s partnerships with corporations and small businesses in the region have been a critical factor in the success of the educational opportunities we provide to adults in our programs. Our annual partners enable us to significantly increase the impact of our mission.
Partnering with the Literacy Council offers businesses the unique opportunity to connect with the community, increase brand visibility, and show support for addressing one of the most critical silent crises of our age: adult low literacy.

A Tribute Gift
Memorial and Tribute Gifts are a powerful way to honor or remember a loved one, friend, or colleague by supporting the Cape Fear Literacy Council’s mission to provide personalized education so adults can transform their lives and contribute to a stronger community.
Your meaningful gift provides critical funds to sustain our language and literacy programs and services.
Leadership Giving: The Literacy Trust
Each year, friends and supporters of the Literacy Council provide flexible resources that help sustain CFLC’s programs and legacy of service. Leading these vital efforts are members of the Literacy Trust, donors who commit to contributing $500, $1,000, or $2,500 annually for five consecutive years.
This leadership-level giving allows our programs to reach more adults who want to improve critical literacy skills. Are you ready to go above … so students at the Cape Fear Literacy Council can go beyond and achieve their goals?
