Rally to Read 100 with RIF
How We Help
RIF creates needs-based content and targeted programs that align key literacy issues with proactive and measurable solutions. Our efforts begin with books and continue with resources, activities, and professional development for educators, parents, and literacy volunteers to ensure that reading turns into a journey of opportunity for all children.
About Us
Founded in 1966, Reading Is Fundamental is the leading voice for children’s literacy. We address the alarming literacy crisis in America today through strong leadership, quality content, and an active and engaged community. Our newest initiative, Race, Equity, and Inclusion, addresses systemic racism and social justice through the power of books and reading.
Impact

In partnership with volunteers, companies, and community organizations, RIF has distributed more than 420 million books and resources and has impacted the lives of 72 million children nationwide.
