Our Stories

Let’s congratulate our elected leaders on their inauguration and urge them to focus on issues that will make a positive difference for Illinois children and their families!

We achieved so much this year thanks to generous supporters just like you who bolstered our efforts to increase investments in the classroom and develop programs to spread kindness in schools across the state.

The clock is ticking down, but there’s still time to invest in the important work of Stand parents and educators.

In this season of giving, please consider a donation to continue supporting our work and achieving results for students, families, and educators.

Your support today will help us keep up the momentum on improving literacy!

When we look back on 2022 and all we achieved together, we see so many positive sparks of change for our children.
