EveryLibrary and Arbor Teas Team Up to Raise Money for Library Funding Campaigns
ANN ARBOR, MI (PRWEB) November 28, 2017 -- Arbor Teas, a family-owned organic tea company based in Ann Arbor, Michigan and EveryLibrary, the only national organization focused on securing stable funding for local libraries, have partnered to create a new way of funding library ballot initiatives. Beginning #GivingTuesday, a global day of giving that takes place on November 28th, Arbor Teas will donate 10% of each purchase made at ArborTeas.com using the coupon code EveryLibrary.
"Our primary focus is delivering the highest quality organic teas as sustainably as possible, but underpinning this is a passion to use our success to do good and give back," said Aubrey Lopatin, co-founder at Arbor Teas. "That's why Arbor Teas is excited to become a sustaining contributor to EveryLibrary's efforts to rally communities in support of libraries facing funding challenges."
As a political action committee providing pro bono campaigns to local libraries across the United States since 2012, EveryLibrary has helped secure more than $250 million in stable tax funding for libraries. Every year millions of Americans use their public libraries not just for books and reading, but to apply for jobs and learn new skills, start new businesses and to research a range of personal, academic and professional topics. Libraries give people the resources they need to improve their lives. Still, funding for many libraries is threatened each election cycle.
"EveryLibrary is only able to train, coach and consult with library communities on Information Only and Vote YES campaigns through the generosity of individual and company donors," said John Chrastka, founder and executive director at EveryLibrary. "We're immensely appreciative of Arbor Teas' ongoing commitment to our efforts, which are critical not only in raising public awareness, but in inspiring action on behalf of libraries."
Arbor Teas first partnered with the library community to support the Ann Arbor District Library’s Summer Game 2017, a points-based program that rewards reading and library use. EveryLibrary and Arbor Teas view this promotion as the beginning of an ongoing partnership which may include other charitable programs in the future.
Individuals looking to support this new partnership can shop online at http://www.arborteas.com for certified organic teas as well as teaware, gifts and tea-infused sweets. At checkout, enter EveryLibrary as the coupon code, which will remain active indefinitely as a means to generate ongoing funding for library campaigns. One-time and sustaining donations can also be made directly to EveryLibrary at: action.everylibrary.org/donate.
