There are less than 48 hours left of 2014, and the POP Project has raised only 24% of our end-of-year fundraising goal. That leaves more than $2,600 needed before the end of the day tomorrow!
As you consider your favorite organizations for your end-of-year giving, the POP Project asks that you remember us and our mission to provide books to those in need. With your help, we can ensure that no book goes without a home, goes unread, or sits on a shelf and collects dust, and that all of the books we are entrusted with are used for constructive, personal expansion.
We Depend on Your Gifts!
- The Need is Great! — Around 1 in 10 adults in Buncombe County cannot read at a basic level and 24% of children are living in poverty. Providing a greater access to books improves literacy, which in turn boosts self esteem, improves economic autonomy, and allows individuals to better contribute to the workforce of their community.
- The Secret to our Success is YOU! — More than 80% of POP’s funding in 2013 came from private donations. The POP Project receives no grants or public funds, so our whole budget depends on people like you who give individually or via our fundraisers.
- Every Dollar is Important! — Every dollar donated to POP translates to around $10 worth of books given out in Buncombe County and Western North Carolina. What other expense generates that kind of return? With your donation, you can know exactly the impact your donation has made to our community.
