We’re honored to be featured in SRQ Magazine’s “Spirit of Giving” issue!

We are absolutely thrilled to announce that Manatee Literacy Council was highlighted in the December 2025 Spirit of Giving issue of SRQ Magazine — alongside so many inspiring organizations doing important work across our region. It’s an honor to be included in this circle of changemakers dedicated to strengthening our community through compassion, literacy, and service.  Check us out here!

Seeing our name on page 93, among other amazing nonprofits participating in next spring’s giving challenge, fills us with gratitude and motivation. We’re proud to stand shoulder to shoulder with these fellow changemakers, each of us working in different ways, but toward the same goal: building a stronger community.

This recognition isn’t just ours, it belongs to everyone who makes our mission possible: our dedicated volunteers, generous donors, passionate tutors, and community supporters. Because of you, people across Manatee County are gaining the literacy skills they need to achieve independence and thrive.

Looking ahead to April 2026’s Giving Challenge , we’re energized, we’re hopeful, and we’re ready. Our commitment to helping adult residents build lasting literacy continues stronger than ever. We can’t wait to show you what’s next.

Thank you, SRQ Magazine, and thank you to our community. Let’s keep empowering each other.

With gratitude & excitement,
The Manatee Literacy Council Team
