Thank you to our 2026 Corporate Sponsors

Each year, we invite businesses to sponsor our Authors for Literacy Fundraiser. When businesses sponsor this event, more children, adults, and communities flourish – and we all win. Our 2026 Presenting Sponsor, Pisgah Investments Foundation, issued a $30,000 matching gift challenge to inspire local businesses and leaders to rise to the occasion and make a difference. The result was tremendous – corporate sponsorships and donations were matched dollar-for-dollar! This means businesses will have double the impact at Literacy Together in 2026! Thank you to our 2026 Corporate Sponsors for your incredible generosity and support!

Proceeds from the Authors for Literacy Event will benefit programs to help people of all ages reach their personal and educational goals through the power of literacy. Literacy Together provides volunteer tutors to more than 450 students and sends books to over 6,600 preschool children in Buncombe County.
