Most popular ways to give
Make a one-time gift
Donate to put more books and reading resources in the hands of children in underserved communities—and help close glaring equity gaps.
Donate monthly
Tackling the literacy crisis takes a long-term commitment—and we can’t do it without you. Partner with Reading Is Fundamental to connect children with books and reading resources all year long: make a monthly gift.
Make a tribute gift
Honor family, friends, educators, literacy mentors, or someone else who loves reading by making a tribute gift. Your gift helps children develop the reading skills they need to become lifelong readers.
Host a book club fundraiser
With your gift, your book club can get books to children who need them most. This proven approach engages and motivates them to read frequently—and become lifelong readers.
