Each account keeps its own private stories. Three of them are free to write, illustrate and share — no card, and no email address needed.

Two ways to get a story — free, or by giving to charity. You can use both.
| Free | After a $20 donation | |
|---|---|---|
| Stories | 3 | +5 |
| Chapters each | up to 3 | up to 10 |
| Pictures | Cover only | Cover, plus one per chapter |
The two never compete — writing a free story doesn’t use up a donated one, or the other way round. And whatever you make, you can always read it, rewrite the words for free, and share or download it.
StoriesWorthGiving receives none of your donation. Pledge sends it straight to the approved charity you choose, along with your tax receipt.
You pick the cause. Every one below is a registered 501(c)(3) public charity working in children’s literacy or hunger relief — the two things a story about a family reading together has any business supporting.
Not to us. StoriesWorthGiving never touches the money and holds no account it could pass through. You give through Pledge, which disburses to the charity directly and emails you the tax receipt. All we ever learn is that a gift completed, so we know to unlock your stories.
