Help Close the Bay Area Literacy Gap
2/3 of Oakland youth arrive to Kindergarten already behind. For every $1,000 we can empower 7 students through Community Reading Buddies. Your tax-deductible donation (EIN: 20-5274459) can help close that gap and/or support our other programming for underserved Bay Area youth.
How Your Donation Can Support Underserved Students
$50 purchases four brand new take-home books for a Community Reading Buddies student.
$150 empowers a student to participate in Community Reading Buddies for eight weeks.
$450 empowers three students to participate in Community Reading Buddies for eight weeks.
$1200 fully funds a classroom of books and supplies for Community Reading Buddies.
