Giving Tuesday was created in 2012 as a simple idea: a day that encourages people to do good. Over the past 12 years, this idea has grown into a year-round global movement that inspires hundreds of millions of people to give, collaborate, and celebrate generosity.

On this Giving Tuesday, support Spread the Word Nevada and help transform lives through literacy. Book ownership is crucial to shaping our future because it equips children with the tools for success. Your contribution puts books in the hands of children in underserved communities who need them most.

Owning books fosters a love of reading, boosts literacy skills, and encourages lifelong learning. For children, access to books at home improves academic performance, critical thinking, and creativity, setting them up for brighter futures. When we provide books to those who might otherwise go without, we’re investing in empowered, informed citizens who will drive positive change for generations to come. Book ownership isn’t just about stories; it’s about unlocking potential and shaping a better tomorrow.

Just $2 can provide a book to a child in need. Be the impact Nevada needs right now. Help us change lives, one book at a time.

We’re thrilled to announce that every dollar you give today will go twice as far thanks to the generosity of The Jon E. Cobain Trust. The Jon E. Cobain Trust has pledged to match all donations up to $10,000 — helping us further our mission to put books into the hands and homes of Nevada’s children in underserved communities.
