Investment Sheets (What can your Investment do this Year?)
When communicating with people about donating to Room to Read, you can provide an Investment Sheet for an illustration of what their giving makes possible. Remember, these numbers are just examples to illustrate the impact of a financial gift. As always, we strongly encourage donors to support unrestricted giving as this will help children in historically under-resourced communities develop literacy skills and a habit of reading, and support girls as they build skills to succeed in school and negotiate key life decisions.
