Read-A-Thon Secures Key Grant to Revolutionize School Fundraising and Ignite a Love for Reading

Read-A-Thon is excited to announce the close of our latest funding round, marking an important milestone for our mission—even though we raised $0 in external capital. While this figure might seem unconventional, it reflects our commitment to organic growth and the power of community support through our unique fundraising model. For years, Read-A-Thon has been revolutionizing the school fundraising industry by replacing traditional product fundraisers with a focused period of reading. Our innovative approach not only raises funds for schools, PTA’s, PTO’s, and libraries but also enhances reading skills and instills a love for literature among students. The decision to proceed without external capital underscores our belief in reinvesting internally and maximizing the value of strategic partnerships, rather than relying solely on monetary infusions. The purpose of this “funding” is to energize our ongoing efforts in refining our digital platform, expanding our outreach to more communities, and developing cutting-edge tools and resources that encourage a lifelong passion for reading. By focusing on what truly matters—the improvement of literacy and the creation of vibrant learning communities—we are setting a new standard for school fundraisers nationwide. We are proud to continue our journey with the same steadfast dedication to our educational mission and look forward to creating even more meaningful impact in the years ahead. Thank you to our supporters for believing in a model where the joy of reading not only enriches young minds but also builds stronger, more connected communities.
