In-kind donations are critical to our success. Room to Read relies on supporters’ generous contributions of new books, technology (e.g. software, hardware), new building supplies and materials (e.g. cement, paint) and pro-bono services in order to enhance our programs and maximize the efficiency of our work. Due to the varied needs and requirements of each country of operation, we evaluate each gift-in-kind opportunity on a case by case basis. If you are interested in In-kind donations, please visit our organizational funders page and fill out the partnership inquiry form.
We are happy to accept your frequent flyer miles in the form of award tickets. Please take a moment to complete the Pledge to Donate Frequent Flyer Mileage Award Ticket Online Form.

You can help Room to Read through matching gift or workplace giving programs. This can also be a great benefit to your company's PR and employee/employer relations. Your company may already have existing corporate matching and workplace giving programs in place. If so, it may be as simple as checking with your HR Department to ensure your company is set up to match donations or support workplace giving.
Your company can support Room to Read through cause marketing, a mutually beneficial partnership through which your company donates a portion of proceeds from product sales. This model is easily sustainable – as your company grows, so does your social impact. If you are interested in a cause marketing partnership, please visit our organizational funders page and fill out the partnership inquiry form.
