Please Consider a Donation

     The Center for Literate Values is a Texas non-profit corporation which is now federally tax-exempt under Section 501(c)3 of the IRS code (as a charity serving educational and religious objectives).  The Center does not sell subscriptions.  Instead, we rely solely upon the donations of our supporters, all of which are now fully tax-deductible.

  Consider that each printed issue of Praesidium costs over $6.00 to produce and mail.  The journal’s online version also requires costly maintenance, most of which is volunteer but all of which is very time-consuming.  The people who bring you Praesidium online are keenly aware of how much--or how little--their efforts are rewarded by public contributions to the journal's cause.  Even a minimal donation would therefore help us to recruit the good will and hard work which our undertaking requires.  Occasionally a supporter will undertake to double our donations.

Gifts in amounts as low as $5 and $10 are extremely important to our operation.  We pay our way as we go: unlike the federal government, we have and honor a policy of never running a deficit.  If we need to make an expenditure, therefore, but lack the funds, the need is not addressed.  That's how significant your dollars and dimes are to us.  Not a penny is ever paid in salary to any of our volunteers or contributors--all goes to funding The Center's publishing activities.
