How It Works: A Smarter Way to Fundraise for Your School

Say goodbye to the stress of traditional book fairs or product fundraising and hello to a modern, impactful way to raise funds while promoting literacy. Our digital reading event fundraiser on Read for My School is designed to deliver higher profits, lower costs, and minimal management—all while keeping students motivated to read.

Here’s what makes Read for My School a unique fundraising solution for your school!

Engage Students with a Reading-First Focus

Students read and log minutes through our easy-to-use digital platform. No selling products—just reading, tracking, and growing a love for books.

Share & Raise Online

Families share their child’s donation page with friends and relatives. All donations are made online—simple, secure, and social media–friendly.

Maximize Profits with Minimal Overhead

Forget costly inventory, shipping, or volunteer hours. Our low online donation fees, especially during special promotions like Dollar Days, mean more funds go directly back to your school.

Reward Readers with Books

Your school earns access to fund books through our Books for All program. A simple and easy way to support literacy while promoting a gift program that delivers new books directly to your school!

Earn Even More with Cash-Back Rewards

The more your school raises, the more you earn. Our cash-back rewards program gives you bonus money for hitting your fundraising goals—no extra effort required.

We Won’t Be Beat on Price – Guaranteed

Found a lower fee elsewhere? Our Price Match Guarantee ensures you’ll get the lowest donation fees and the highest return—or we’ll match it.

Ready to Raise More with Less?

With no upfront costs, no physical setup, and maximum flexibility, your school can launch a successful reading fundraiser that puts books in kids’ hands and money back where it matters most—your school.
