Route 66 Literacy is a Benetech initiative. Both Benetech and the Center for
Literacy and Disability Studies are nonprofit organizations and contributions
are considered charitable. The real story is this: we depend on
philanthropic support to make our work possible.

For every dollar you give to Benetech, a full 85% goes directly to support
the specific initiative that you specify. Your investment will enable us to
continue our global programs and expand our work as we take on new
challenges.
