Partnership Opportunities
Would YOU like to get FREE books for YOUR organization or next Family Literacy Event? Let's make it happen!
Finding Funding:
Almost every state has a Humanities non-profit organization that tries to support “under-represented languages and populations” in their state. To find the Humanities organization in your state simply: google search (the name of your state) humanities.
We are based in Utah. Utah Humanities has been a wonderful partner in buying /providing Simple to Sign books for literacy events in Utah.
Reach out to YOUR state chapter! If you need help, we have a sample letter you can use to draft a letter to request funds/to buy books for your event.
Some Humanities chapters will only work with non-profits, (About Love and Language is a non-profit!) Some only work with in-state non-profits, so partner-up your event with a library or school. Let us know how we can help!
Another amazing organization is the Walmart Foundation.
Local Community Grants (walmart.org) is a simple grant process that likes to support their local community!
We hope to hear from you!
