REED Charitable Foundation is a public 501(c)(3) whose mission is to empower the dyslexic community and end the global literacy crisis by ensuring structured literacy teacher training is accessible to all while providing exceptional content and a meaningful community to those on the dyslexia journey. RCF envisions a world where we have fundamentally changed the education system so that all dyslexic students, as well as their peers, are truly literate and empowered to learn, identify their inherent strengths and reach their fullest potential.

RCF works daily to achieve this mission by training teachers across the US and beyond in OG (for free or at an extremely reduced rate), which is considered the gold standard in literacy instruction for all children and vital for struggling readers and those identified with dyslexia. Further, RCF provides implementation support to educators after they have been trained so that they become proficient in implementing structured literacy to fidelity ensuring success for all. In addition, RCF provides free Community Education Events that promise exceptional content and meaningful fellowship to attendees. These events feature experts in areas related to dyslexia, neurodiversity, ADHD, medication, mental health, assistive technology and so much more. These events may also feature famous or exceptional dyslexics who share their stories of struggle and strengths.

RCF also hosts its annual signature fundraiser in October for Dyslexia Awareness Month. Every year we choose a different dyslexic strength to celebrate and then scour the globe looking for the best kids and professionals in those skillsets to highlight and honor. It is a two-night event that is uplifting, empowering and one-of-kind, just like the amazing kids we serve.

RCF’s newest program is a tutoring initiative that partners with local community organizations to offer free after-school tutoring programs aimed at supporting students' academic growth. By working together, we provide personalized instruction to help students build key skills, enhance their understanding, and achieve academic success. This collaborative effort ensures that all students have access to the resources they need to thrive, regardless of their background, fostering a supportive and inclusive learning environment.

Donors should support RCF because the literacy crisis impacts us all. 66% of our Nation's children cannot read at a 4th grade level. The inability to read proficiently leads to a host of devastating problems for an individual and ultimately for our society as a whole. This is not a problem that any of us can afford to turn a blind eye to - and there is not a single societal cause that is not drastically improved if we are successful in our mission to ensure that the 95% of the population that is cognitively able to read, actually could.
