Summer Time and the Giving’s Easy This Summer, when you buy Quick Fiction, we'll donate 25% to the literacy organization of your choice.
We've selected the top three most effective literacy organizations in the nation. When you place your order, you can choose which of the the three you'd like to support. The best part is, even though you're paying the same price—for our latest issue, a back issue, or a subscription for you or a friend—you're also making a world of difference in the life of a child.
Here are the organizations you can choose from:
- Jumpstart for Young Children
- Room to Read
- 826 National
This opportunity is only available through the end of the Summer, so don't miss it!
