Did You Know?

Education opens doors, broadens horizons and sets kids up for success. When kids have the skills they need to succeed in school—like reading at grade level—it empowers them to thrive at every stage.
Kids who enter school ready to learn are more likely to read proficiently by 3rd grade.
Students who read on grade level by third grade are 5x more likely to graduate ready for success in college or career.
College graduates can earn $36,000 more a year, enabling them to save for the future.
Financially stable adults can access quality health care for themselves and their families.

Together, we’re strengthening education, income and health—the building blocks of opportunity—and setting North Texas students up for successful futures. Join us.

Through our Once Upon a Month program, a $36 gift can provide a child with one book a month for a whole year.
