The Literary Freedom Project (LFP) and Mosaic magazine are fighting to keep immersive reading, literary arts, expository writing, and professional development important in the lives of parents, youth workers, primary caregivers, and teachers. LFP’s programs help foster increased cultural identity, vocational prospects, and education opportunities.
It has been a tough year for many non-profit arts organizations. Income from grants and donations are way down. The Literary Freedom Project has felt the pinch as well, but they recognize that their mission is more important now than ever.
I encourage you to join AALBC.com by becoming an inaugural member of the Publisher’s Circle with a $100, tax deductible, donation.
Publisher Circle members recieve Four issues of Mosaic Magazine, Signed copy of Glorious by Bernice McFadden or How To Escape From A Leper Colony by Tiphanie Yanique and donation acknowledgment in Mosaic Magine and the LFP website
The Literary Freedom Project accepts and greatly appreciates donation of any amount; so donate today.
