The Supporters of Literacy in Deschutes County (SOLID) fund a wide range of literacy programs that improve the lives and futures of those who live among us. Our volunteers provide phonics and reading tutoring and donate books to underserved children grades K-3rd. We make grants to classroom teachers for literacy-based training and to local non-profits that offer literacy-focused programs. SOLID operates a non-profit bookstore that features thousands of high-quality donated books with proceeds funding our initiatives. Literacy programs create and strengthen equity and opportunity for people in our community of all backgrounds, ages, ethnicities and beliefs.

Local community needs are going unmet every day while those with a heart for philanthropy lack clarity on how to give intentionally.
