Sustaining Success Monthly Giving Program
Setting up a monthly gift plan is a convenient and cost-effective way to provide meaningful support for Greater Pittsburgh Literacy Council’s students. Contributions are deducted monthly from your checking account or charged to your credit or debit card. Consistent monthly gifts help cut administrative and overhead costs, allowing GPLC to better manage its monthly income and operations, while freeing up more money for student programs. In addition, by spreading your donation out throughout the year, you may find you can increase your gift and help even more learners reach their goals.

Some companies will also match the gifts of spouses and retirees. For more information, contact your company’s human resources director or community relations office.
Gifts of Stock/Securities
A gift of appreciated stock held for more than one year can yield significant tax benefits.
