Working to create a world where every child has the relationships and resources to learn and thrive by incorporating books into pediatric care and encouraging families to read aloud together.
Reach Out and Read Inc uses pediatric care as its main delivery point for early literacy, funding clinics and children’s health partners that encourage families to read aloud together. The organization’s recent grants show repeated support for the same networked sites over multiple years, including Miami-Dade Family Learning Partnership in Miami and University of Oklahoma Pediatric Clinic in Tulsa. Those awards are tied to the same program goal: helping young children build relationships and language-rich routines through books shared with caregivers. The foundation’s giving is closely connected to book access and reading promotion within clinical settings. Recent awards also reached Duke Children’s Primary Care in Durham, New Hanover Regional Medical Center Nunnelee Pediatric Clinics in Wilmington, and Community Health Center Inc Middletown Site in Middletown. The pattern suggests a funder working through affiliated pediatric and community-health partners rather than through unrelated one-off causes. With annual grants of $10,847,265 and total assets of $29,204,409, Reach Out and Read Inc operates at a substantial scale while keeping its support centered on early childhood development, education, and health.
A central theme in the grant record is direct support for pediatric practices that embed reading into routine care. Reach Out and Read Inc gave $53,189 to Duke Children’s Primary Care in Durham for encourage reading, and it backed New Hanover Regional Medical Center Nunnelee Pediatric Clinics in Wilmington with $50,977 for the same purpose. Another visible thread is support for community-facing family learning partners. The foundation awarded Miami-Dade Family Learning Partnership $182,778 in Miami and a separate $75,331 award in 2024, both for encourage reading. It also funded Center for the Urban Child at St Christopher’s Hospital for Children in Philadelphia, showing that the work extends across children’s health systems and urban child-serving sites. The record also includes support for smaller clinical and education settings such as Community Health Center Inc Middletown Site in Middletown and Edwards Early Education Center in Oklahoma City, both tied to reading promotion.
Typical grants cluster in the low thousands: the p25 is $6,058, the median is $7,724, and the p75 is $11,247. The recent record also includes much larger awards to sites that appear more than once across years, which points to recurring support rather than isolated one-time gifts. Reach Out and Read Inc is a regular funder, not a DAF, and it does not fund individuals or make program-related investments. Unsolicited applications are accepted for its Start a Site program, while its other active programs are structured and not open to unsolicited requests.

Giving is national, with all recipient-country grants in the United States. Pennsylvania is the top state by grant count, and 12% of grants go to recipients in Massachusetts. Recent awards land in a mix of pediatric and family-learning settings across Miami, Tulsa, Durham, Wilmington, Philadelphia, and Middletown. The pattern reaches multiple regions rather than concentrating in one metro area, with repeated awards to the same sites in Florida, North Carolina, Oklahoma, and Ohio.
The recent grants go to pediatric clinics, children’s hospitals, community health centers, and family-learning partners. Examples in the data include University of Oklahoma Pediatric Clinic in Tulsa, Duke Children’s Primary Care in Durham, and Miami-Dade Family Learning Partnership in Miami, all funded to encourage reading.
Typical awards are relatively small to mid-sized: the 25th percentile is $6,058, the median is $7,724, and the 75th percentile is $11,247. The recent record also shows larger multi-year site awards, but most grants sit in that lower range.
Its geographic scope of giving is national. The recipient-country distribution shows 1,064 grants in the United States, and recent awards appear across multiple states, including Florida, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, and Ohio.
Yes. Several grantees appear in more than one year, including Miami-Dade Family Learning Partnership in 2024 and 2025, University of Oklahoma Pediatric Clinic in 2023, 2024, and 2025, and Rocket Pediatrics Ruppert Health Center in 2023, 2024, and 2025.
Yes, but only for Start a Site, the program onboarding and resource support process for clinical sites. That program accepts unsolicited applications and is open to pediatric clinics and similar practices joining the Reach Out and Read network.
