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.
