This year was a celebration of growth, learning and community impact.

Together with our donors, volunteers, educators, community partners and supporters, we helped create more opportunities for children and families to build confidence through reading and strengthen literacy skills that will last a lifetime.

Our 2025–26 annual report shares the stories behind that impact, from families discovering the joy of reading together to young readers growing in confidence one page at a time.

Thank you for being part of another incredible year. Every child encouraged, every family supported and every page turned was made possible because of this community.

🌱 We reached our Spring Match Campaign goal!
Thanks to your incredible support, The Reading Partnership has officially raised $25,000 through our first-ever Spring Match Campaign.

Every day at The Reading Partnership, we see what becomes possible when children are given the support, encouragement and opportunities they need to succeed. This milestone is a reflection of that same belief, shared by our community.

Because of donors like you, more children and families will have access to programs like Reading Partnership for Parents, Kids Read and The Next Chapter Festival, our free annual children’s literacy event.

Thank you to everyone who showed up for literacy this spring and made this campaign a success. While the campaign has come to a close, the work continues, and we are deeply grateful to have you as part of our community. 💚📚

💜 Thanks to your incredible support, we’ve already raised $18,000 toward our $25,000 goal for our first Spring Match Campaign. 🌱

We are deeply grateful for everyone who has helped us get this far. With just five days remaining until our extended deadline of July 14, every gift will help us reach more children and families with the literacy support they deserve.

Sow the seeds of literacy and double your impact today by donating via readingpartnership.com/donate.
