For 45 years, the Freedom to Read Foundation has dedicated itself to protecting the right of libraries to provide access to the world of knowledge and ideas. This #GivingTuesday, consider making a donation to the Freedom to Read Foundation, and help us keep censorship efforts at bay.

There are plenty of reasons to give:

You can give a gift in honor of someone.
You can give a gift in memory of someone.
You can use this opportunity to renew your membership for 2015.
You can become a first-time member.
You can give a membership as a holiday gift.
You can give to the Krug Fund or the Conable Fund.
You can give to support Fat Angie.
Or you can give for the heck of it!

Your gift of $250, $100, $50, $25 – any amount – is tax-deductible.

Thanks to everyone who has made this such a successful 2014. FTRF has done good and important work in the courts, in libraries, in the classroom, and in the virtual world. Help us continue that work in 2015!

This year, consider a gift to FTRF

Posted By Jonathan M. Kelley, Wednesday, December 5, 2012

Are you looking for the perfect holiday gift for your loved one, colleague, or book group? Consider a donation to the Freedom to Read Foundation!

There are two great ways to give:

• A gift one-year membership, good through the end of 2013. The recipient will receive a membership card, a subscription to Freedom to Read Foundation News, and breaking news updates. They’ll also know that they are a key part in the effort to defend and protect our most important rights.

• A gift donation to the Freedom to Read Foundation. The donation could be to one of FTRF's named funds—the Judith F. Krug Memorial Fund, the Gordon M. Conable Fund, or the Zappa Fund—or a general gift to the Foundation.

A gift membership or donation to the Freedom to Read Foundation will help support FTRF’s programs, educational efforts, and litigation efforts. Your gift will help libraries and librarians defend the right to access information. And since FTRF is a 501(c)(3) organization, your gift is tax deductible!

Make this a memorable holiday season. Give online today or call us at (312) 280-4226.
