Your community or library-based program could be one of five to receive two (2) round-trip e-pass airline tickets to any Southwest destination. Tickets must be used between May 1, 2024 and April 30, 2025.

• How you would use the donated tickets to raise funds or otherwise support your program.

Southwest Airlines has allowed charitable organizations to use e-pass tickets in limited online auctions. The e-passes should be listed as one of a selection of items for a designated fundraiser. Bidding is limited to the organization's membership and local supporters and not for the general public or through third parties, i.e. Ebay.

Eligible Applicants: Florida-based nonprofit organizations and library-based programs working in adult literacy, ESOL, and/or family literacy.
