This is our moment to turn the page on Maryland’s reading crisis and write a new story of hope, equity, and opportunity. Your donation to Maryland READS will empower us to advance a reading agenda that will change lives, strengthen communities, and secure our shared future.

Maryland READS is seeking $150,000 in sponsorship support to underwrite our projects in the second half of 2025. These funds will sustain and expand our READ Strong Network, fund local pilot projects, regional and statewide convenings, and continue publishing our annual State of Reading in Maryland report with the latest updates on the 2025 reading proficiency rates in our state.

Becoming a sponsor is more than a financial contribution—it’s a public commitment to ensure every Maryland child can become a thriving reader. Sponsors receive visibility through our statewide convenings, annual report, and monthly communications, while also playing a direct role in strengthening reading ecosystems in counties across Maryland.

More details on sponsorship levels and benefits are available here: marylandreads.org/levels. Each sponsorship level comes with recognition in our publications, website, social media, and events, as well as opportunities to connect with education leaders and community partners.
