Our friends at First Tech Federal Credit Union are once again running their Season of Giving community campaign, and Page Ahead is in the running for a $7,500 grant!
Have you already voted? Please share the link with your friends, family, and colleagues. Your vote and theirs can help give 150 kids in need new books!
Have someone who is just impossible to shop for? Or someone who just doesn’t want any more “stuff”? A donation to Page Ahead in their honor is the PERFECT way to make sure your gift sparks joy!
Last year, Page Ahead supporters Gregg and Jane gave their adult children a new kind of gift. “In an effort to inspire our children to be thinking about charitable giving as they advance through their careers, we asked them to pick an organization that spoke to their interests and we agreed to fund a contribution,” Gregg says. “Typically, we are not giving much in the way of gifts to family members, but saw this as a special opportunity.”
Their son Michael had volunteered with Page Ahead in the past and selected us, so Gregg and Jane made a powerful gift of $1,000—the equivalent of 12 books each for 20 kids participating in our Book Up Summer program. That’s like gifting home libraries to an entire kindergarten classroom!

During this giving season, we are delighted our friends at Barnes & Noble are making it extra easy for everyone to get books for everyone on their list AND for the kids Page Ahead serves!
Holiday book drives are on from November 1 to December 9 at multiple Barnes & Nobles around Washington:
On Black Friday (November 25) and Small Business Saturday (November 26), you can visit our friends at Secret Garden Books in Ballard and get great deals on books and gifts for all ages.
Secret Garden is generously donating a portion of their sales from Friday and Saturday to Page Ahead, and they are accepting books and gift certificates purchased on Page Ahead’s behalf as well. Stop by to say hi, shop local, and give!
Thank you to the 28 wonderful volunteers who donated their time for Ernst & Young Connect Day 2022. We were fortunate to have one group who read to first graders at Beverly Park Elementary and another talented team who packed books and delivered them to our Book Oasis Little Free Libraries.
It was a special day distributing new books to kids in the community. There were many happy smiles and exciting books read. Thank you, EY employees, for sharing your time and efforts!
There’s Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, Cyber Monday, and now, in it’s tenth year, GivingTuesday.
This year on November 29, GivingTuesday is an opportunity for communities all around the world to come together in generosity.
Page Ahead will have some exciting news to share around GivingTuesday this year . . . so mark the Tuesday after Thanksgiving on your calendar and watch your inbox!
