Higher Learning Challenge Sponsorship Form
In Higher Learning’s pilot year, 2010-11, we seek to distribute a minimum of 25,000 books to high schools, college access programs, campuses, and student organizations, at no cost to them. To support this effort, we are reaching out to foundations, corporations, entertainers, philanthropists, and others, creating a national call to action. A $5000 scholarship can partially cover a year of tuition and expenses for a single student, or, through The Higher Learning Challenge, it can empower 1000 students with a copy of Higher Learning, motivating them to excel academically and opening up a world of additional scholarship and funding possibilities. Challenge funders can make an open donation, servicing programs and schools with a particular focus on low-income, first-generation, and/or minority populations, or they may designate their funds to provide books to specific programs or geographic regions. Challenge contributions are processed by Higher Learning’s 501(c)(3) partner, Lion’s Story, Inc., and are thus tax-deductible.
For more information, please read the full Higher Learning Challenge overview.
Checks should be made payable to Lionʼs Story, Inc., PO BOX 30717, Philadelphia, PA, 19104. Sponsored books for the 2010-11 Challenge will be distributed between July 30, 2010 and June 30, 2011. Unless otherwise indicated, sponsors will be listed by name and/or organization on The Higher Learning Challenge web page and other promotional/reporting materials. A representative of Lionʼs Story will confirm sponsorship details with all sponsors.
