You can be part of solving a problem larger than ourselves. In the United States, nearly 10 million children, or 13.7% of the population under 18 years of age, live in poverty, according to 2023 U.S. Census Bureau statistics. Studies show that children from low-socioeconomic status families are less likely to have experiences and resources to develop fundamental literacy skills. Please donate to fund our mission to increase literacy by supplying new and recycled magazines to readers who have limited access to reading materials.

Magazines are the most powerful literacy engines on Earth.
Why are magazines so special for literacy? Think about this: With titles for every reading age, enthusiasm, professional aspiration and language, magazines can match exact literacy goals — like teaching science and engineering; mentoring a teen who loves cars, sports or fashion; culinary job training; or comforting a family experiencing homelessness.
Studies show that holding print reading materials in your hands increases learning. Magazines are familiar and not intimidating. Articles are visual and engaging with writing that is easy to read.
Magazines educate and inspire, spur curiosity to encourage learning and promote literacy to establish a lifelong reading habit.
Literacy ends poverty of the mind, heart and pocket.
You can help us change the world for good. Reading is where it all begins. Learn more about MagLiteracy.
