I Read Canadian Fund Campaign
Every young person should have access to Canadian books. The I Read Canadian Fund was created to make sure kids have every opportunity to read great books. Over the next year, the OLA plans to raise $25,000 for the I Read Canadian Fund, and we would like your support. We can’t do it without you!
Why is this important to OLA?
Research shows that reading for fun has a positive impact on the lives of children and young adults both in and outside of school. Reading promotes the following in young readers:
- Increased school achievement
- Strong life satisfaction
- Better health
- Better employment
- Pursuit of higher education
- Increased social and civic engagement
Here is how your donation to I Read Canadian helps:
- $200 provides one Forest of Reading book set to a classroom or library.
- $500 brings a bus of young readers to their local reading festival/celebration.
- $1,000 – $4,000 delivers 350 Canadian books to a remote community in need.
- $750-$1000 subsidizes an author/illustrator visit to a small or remote community (including travel).
Every contribution connects a young person to a book that could change their life.
