Giving Tuesday · December 1, 2026

Giving Tuesday is coming, and we need your voice.

Giving Tuesday is a global day of generosity. On December 1, help us share the stories of the Coulee Region with children here and beyond.

Friends of EFP: Children's Stories,

On Tuesday, December 1, people around the world will come together to give back. This year, the Enduring Families Project: Children's Stories is taking part, and we need your help.

Our goal is to raise $10,000 to print and share our second book, “Lifting As We Rise: African American Women's Movement in the 19th Century,” along with its classroom materials, with schools and libraries across the Coulee Region and beyond.

You already know this work. Since 2018, we have recovered the stories of the La Crosse area's early African American residents and brought them back to our children through books, lessons and performed monologues. Now we're asking you to help us publish our second book and help us reach the people who don't know us yet.
