Last month, we were proud to attend the Chicago Women in Philanthropy Summit Annual Meeting, joining leaders and changemakers committed to advancing women in philanthropy.

We’re grateful for opportunities like these to connect, exchange ideas and continue learning how we can collectively make a greater impact for the communities we serve.

Literacy is more than reading and writing. It can help build confidence, strengthen communication and create greater independence. 💯

That’s why resources like this matter. 📚

Anixter Center supporter Ann, who is also the owner of The Fig Tree, recently donated multiple workbooks to our Literacy Program, giving participants additional tools to practice their skills and continue learning.

Thank you, Ann, for supporting our learners and the goals they’re working toward every day! 🙌
