Support Us

Read to Them believes that the power of reading aloud together can build connections across families, schools, and communities to cultivate students’ learning and success. Our family literacy programs help lay the foundations for children to forge a positive, long-lasting relationship with reading and learning.

WHY DONATE

Your donation will help to put books in the hands of children, helping each child in a classroom or school to grow their personal library. When students participate in one of our programs, they are bringing these books home to their families, too. Reading aloud together creates irreplaceable adult-child interactions, stoking a kind of excitement about learning and stories that will last a lifetime. Your donation will help increase the impact in vital areas such as:

  • Family engagement
  • Community building
  • Foundational connections to books and stories

areas to support

General Fund

By donating to our General Fund, you allow Read to Them to apply your gift where it may be needed the most.

School Scholarship Fund

Schools often have difficulty stretching their tight budgets to achieve everything they want for their students. Sometimes, teachers are left to pick up the slack. By donating to our School Scholarship Fund, you’ll help bring a family literacy program to a school interested in building positive read-aloud habits at home, where real change takes root to flourish in classrooms and in life.

SUGGESTED GIFT $150 (helps provide a reading program for one classroom)

SUGGESTED GIFT $1,800 (helps provide a reading program for one entire school)

The Read to Them Endowment

Many donors want to invest their giving in a way that guarantees our literacy programs continue to support schools, families, and children for the foreseeable future. Thanks to the generous donation that started it all, we were able to create our own endowment. By donating to our endowment, you will ensure that Read to Them’s story remains one without an end.

SUGGESTED GIFT $1,000
