WAYS TO GIVE
SitStayRead is able to deliver programming to increase literacy in Chicago youth solely because of generous donors like you. A gift of any amount is no small contribution.
Your support helps us to bring books, dogs, and confidence to our young readers. As an individual, you can choose to give a one-time cash donation, or join The Pack by setting up a recurring donation. You can donate by clicking the link below or sending a check to our office at 2849 N Clark St, Chicago, IL 60657.
Honor Someone Special
Giving in memory or in honor of the people and pets closest to you is a gift that reaches far beyond them and creates an incredibly special legacy. SitStayRead is honored to accept gifts in this form and cherishes the role we may play in your loved one’s celebration of life.
To make a gift in tribute to a loved one, when creating your donation you will have the option to add additional information toward the bottom of the page. You can choose whether you would like us to share with the honoree or their family via email, phone, or share their address to receive a hand-written card from the SitStayRead team. We work diligently to make sure tributes are notified within a week of your donation.
Please reach out to our Operations Coordinator, Selena Clark, if you have any questions.
