Your Impact: Giving Children the Chance to Read and Succeed

Your generosity drives a powerful movement for literacy across Arizona. Because of you, thousands of young children, families, caregivers, and educators receive the tools they need to build a foundation for lifelong learning.


Your support targets the critical birth-to-five years—the time when a child’s brain develops most rapidly. By equipping parents, teachers, and caregivers with books, knowledge, and confidence, you help children discover the joy of reading and enter school fully prepared to learn.


Your investment creates measurable, life-changing results. In fact, your collective impact was recognized nationally with the 2022 Library of Congress American Prize for advancing literacy in the United States.


Because of You, Children and Families Thrive:

Because of your support, a mom of two can say:

"I learned different ways to keep both my kids (5 and 1) engaged in a book. I don't ask them the same questions because they're not at the same level, but it doesn't hurt for the younger one to hear those other questions. I also learned that it's okay if my youngest doesn't want to continue reading the book. It's okay to go at his pace."

And because of you, educators are growing too:

"Each session helps me grow not only as a teacher, but as a person, strengthening my ability to support and care for the children and families I serve. It inspires me to keep improving and to make a genuine, lasting difference in their lives."

Your generosity doesn't just teach skills—it changes the way families connect and the way educators show up for the children they serve.
