Wisconsin Literacy's Impact Report FY2024
Dear Friends,
At Wisconsin Literacy, we know that literacy is much more than reading. It is the foundation for opportunity.
Whole person literacy connects people to jobs, strengthens families, and helps individuals navigate their world with confidence. In 2024, your support made these transformations possible. Refugees regained their voice in new communities, parents earned their GED to inspire future generations, and adult learners gained digital skills to thrive in an increasingly online world. Many also learned to better understand health information, giving them the tools to make informed decisions for themselves and their families. These stories remind us that literacy truly changes lives.
Your generosity strengthens the work of more than 80 member agencies across Wisconsin, providing resources and training to meet learners where they are. Together, we are addressing literacy needs today while building a foundation for a brighter and stronger tomorrow.
Thank you for your continued belief in the power of literacy.
Stephen Mundt,
Chair of Wisconsin Literacy Board
Jake Gorges,
Executive Director of Wisconsin Literacy
