The International Literacy Association (ILA) connects research and practice to improve the quality of literacy learning across the globe is dedicated to ensuring that every child, everywhere, has access to the education, opportunities, and resources they need to become successful readers.

To amplify this work, ILA is participating in Do More 24 Delaware, a 24-hour online fundraising event in our home state, from Thursday, March 6, 6:00 p.m. ET, to Friday, March 7, 6:00 p.m. ET. Proceeds will go to, among other things, ILA’s Children’s Rights to Read initiative.

You can help us make an impact

Financial donations of even $5 can make a difference in support of ILA’s mission, and sharing this opportunity with your network helps tremendously. Use the hashtag #DoMore24DE and #RightsToRead on social media to encourage others to participate.

Visit our campaign page to donate, to share information via social media, or to create your own fundraising page that benefits ILA.
