Our impact
Proof it works
We’re a data-driven organization in a heart-driven field. Here’s what a year of Kindfuly looks like — counted, audited, and honestly reported.
Impact by the numbers
Annual operating budget ≈ $6.2M · independently audited every year · 82¢ of every dollar reaches kids directly.
What the numbers mean
Behind every statistic is a kid who got unstuck
- 68%
of Reading Buddies participants advance at least one reading level in a year — many for the first time in their school careers.
- 90%
of partner schools renew with us annually. The clearest vote of confidence we get is being asked back.
- 500K+
books distributed each year through classroom and home libraries, so a child’s first book is never their last.
Where we work
28 states today — all 50 by 2030

Where we’re headed
Our 2030 commitments
Reach all 50 states
Grow from 28 states to a coast-to-coast presence by 2030.
Double students served
From 75,000 to 150,000 children every single year.
Launch a digital reading platform
So rural and remote students can read with a buddy from anywhere.
Sharpen our measurement
A standardized outcomes dashboard for every partner school.
Build an endowment
Long-term financial footing so no child loses their program to a budget year.
“We can show you the reading scores — and they’re real. But the number I care about is the one I can’t chart: how many kids now see themselves as readers.”
Help us write next year’s numbers
Every gift, every volunteer hour, and every new school moves these figures in the right direction.
