Literacy to Opportunity
Strengthening America
Gordon Philanthropies is a nonprofit dedicated to assisting Americans to achieve their potential and take advantage of the opportunities this country offers.
I am guided by a deep sense of gratitude — for the opportunities and rewards that this country has allowed me to pursue. True gratitude recognizes that not everyone has the same access to these opportunities. I strongly believe in assisting motivated individuals to reach their full potential and take advantage of what America offers. Their accomplishments benefit them, their families and our country.
Forging pathways that strengthen our nation
In an increasingly competitive world, access to quality education underpins both personal achievement and national strength. A strong, educated population is essential if America is to continue delivering outsized results and ensuring that every individual can benefit from the opportunities this country offers.
No American should be limited by a lack of basic literacy skills, and every child deserves the chance to pursue their aspirations with confidence.
