There's still time to take advantage of this year's matching gift

As we announced last month, a member of the National Book Foundation's board of directors has generously offered to match all gifts to the Foundation up to a total of $25,000 through the end of January, 2012. Thank you to those who've already made contributions, and for those who haven't yet, there's still time! As a nonprofit organization, we count on public support to keep our programs going, so we hope you'll help us take advantage of this opportunity with a tax-deductible contribution to support our work.
