Every child in Boston deserves the lifelong gift of literacy, yet thousands of young children from low-income families face barriers that diminish their reading readiness before kindergarten. Raising A Reader MA transforms this reality by empowering parents and caregivers to become their child's first and most impactful teachers—using proven, evidence-based programs that increase shared reading at home. Your support helps us provide over 15,000 books annually and train hundreds of families to foster language development, ensuring children enter school with the confidence and skills to succeed.

Through targeted outreach in Boston neighborhoods, our programs break through literacy gaps that threaten future academic achievement. We partner with community organizations to deliver culturally responsive, sustainable solutions that make reading a joyful, everyday experience. Each donation directly funds critical resources, training, and books—turning everyday moments into powerful opportunities for early learning. Together, we are building a future where every child has the dignity of literacy and the hope of a bright future, starting now.

Imagine a child in Roxbury or Dorchester, eagerly flipping through a book, their eyes lighting up as they discover new words and ideas. Every contribution helps us reach more families with the tools they need to nurture a love of reading—creating a ripple effect of success that lasts a lifetime. Join us in this breakthrough effort to eliminate the opportunity gap, empower caregivers, and ensure that all Boston children begin school prepared to thrive. Your generosity transforms lives, making hope and literacy accessible to every child in our community today.
