We decided to create a better way for schools to raise money by monetizing what schools hopefully were already doing. The problem, from the beginning, was how best to do that.
So we spent two years developing Read-a-thon as a way to not only raise money, but to get kids excited about reading. Since our inception kids have logged nearly 2,000,000,000 reading minutes on our site.
Now we have a tried and proven turnkey program that helps schools spend a couple weeks reading as their fundraiser.
A school can’t replicate what we offer. From the custom, conversion-optimized full color paperwork, to the management tools found on dashboards, to the intuitive website developed with the help of behavioral scientists to the most secure PCI compliant payment system.
We’ve helped thousands of schools and took the best practices from the most successful schools and integrated it into our program. Our top schools raise nearly $100,000 with our program. We give those same tools to every school that uses our fundraiser.
We hope every school in the world will change the way they raise money and start monetizing a focus on reading.
