You know us. We've been involved, active, and vocal in promoting adult literacy in this city for years. Recently, we agreed that much more remains to be done, so we decided to regroup officially as the Chicago Literacy Project.

Our goal is to unite others who understand the life-altering possibilities that happen first through reading and then through applied literacy. CLP will have two active tracks: awareness/advocacy and programming.

One in five Chicagoans cannot read at an eighth grade level. Practical literacy-training that includes jobs preparedness-is the solution. Consider the ways that everybody wins.

The Chicago Literacy Project celebrates many things. Mostly, we savor the unlimited power unleashed through investment in humankind.

We operate outside the box and are developing a nontraditional operating model that we hope will allow us to focus on real goals rather than constant revenue chasing. Step one is making CLP real: this campaign will raise funds for all paperwork and filing fees that will get us our non-profit (501c3) status. Everything helps.

You've read this far. You're the best.
