How Reading Fundraisers Work

Friends, family, and connections near and far donate money to applaud reading efforts and fund community improvements.

Build Resiliency Into Your Fundraising

Reading fundraisers are pandemic-proof and fully virtual, so you can reach your funding goals in dynamic environments. Inspire a love of reading and raise money at the same time!

Fire Up Your Readers and Donors

Spur on reading and raising with a big reading fundraiser community goal and then watch as the reading, donations, and supportive messages stack up. And you can easily add extra prizes for top readers, classrooms, or grades to motivate more readers and sponsors.

Broaden Your Donor Base

Relying on planned giving, book sales, and door-to-door fundraising drives can limit your reach and put stress on lower-income families. Our virtual reading fundraisers and accessible mobile app can help you bridge the digital and income divides to foster equitable participation in your capital campaigns.
