Raising A Reader’s corporate and foundation partners are committed to building strong communities by investing in education and in the strength of families to support their children’s academic success. An investment in Raising A Reader is an investment in a national evidence-based program, delivered locally in partnership with core community institutions and the families themselves.

For Foundations
Raising A Reader has proven to be a wise investment for private and community foundations interested in deep systemic work in education and family engagement as well as a clear choice for family foundations looking to have an immediate impact.
Our multi-layered approach to narrowing the achievement gap is unique, in that we work directly with children, families, and educators and also provide integrated support to the organizations and systems working to achieve equity in education.
Raising A Reader’s program and services are aligned with the Common Core, Family Support Principles and the Pre-K – 3rd Grade movement. We are partners in Full Service Community Schools as well as active members of local Literacy Coalitions and the Campaign for 3rd Grade Reading.
