Legacy of
Literacy Society

Since 2006, Raising A Reader MA has been working toward a single goal – to eliminate the literacy opportunity gap among children in the Commonwealth. Our mission remains and our work continues, thanks to generosity and support of individuals and organizations from across the United States who understand the value of the important work and support we provide.

For some, their generosity toward Raising A Reader MA has extended beyond their lifetime. These donors have honored us by choosing to remember us as part of their estate plans with a legacy gift. These legacy gifts provide a way to have a lasting impact on the work of Raising A Reader MA.
