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

Tired of selling candles, popcorn, and chocolates? Frustrated with the high costs and minimal profit returns on book fairs? If so, say goodbye to the stress of traditional 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, with minimal volunteers—all while promoting a cause-marketing theme that supports education and literacy,  not selling products.

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

Engage Students with a Reading-First Fundraising Theme

Students read and log minutes through our easy-to-use digital platform. No products to sell—just reading, tracking, and sharing a love for reading books to raise money for your school. You can even set a custom leaderboard, as well as reading and fundraising goals that unlock hidden achievement badges for students to gamify your event!

Share Your Event & Raise Money Online

Families share their child’s reading progress, goals, and achievements, along with your community fundraising message, with donors to raise awareness and pledge contributions for your event. All donations are made online through a simple, secure, and social media–friendly platform.

Our Model is Simple: The More You Raise, The More You Earn!

Forget costly inventory, shipping, or volunteer hours with book fairs and the high fees associated with product fundraising. Our low pricing and cash-back incentive rewards, especially during special promotions like Dollar Days, mean that more funds you raise through your fundraiser go directly back to your school. 

Offer a Book Fair Experience Without the Stress

Looking for a book fair alternative that funds new books at no cost to you? Our Buy a Book! Give a Book! campaign provides a simple and easy way to support literacy while promoting a gift program for donors to fund new books shipped directly to your school!

We Won’t Be Beat on Price – Guaranteed!

Are you price shopping for the highest net profit return for your school? Our Price Match Guarantee ensures you’ll get the best support services and the highest net profit return. Schedule a call to learn more.

Ready to Raise More and Earn More with Less?

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