Support the Reading Education Foundation (REF)
REF is an independent non-profit, 501(c)(3), organization dedicated to expanding the educational experience of all Reading School District students. Our purpose is to support innovative opportunities that encourage our students to Dream, Believe & Achieve, through funding districtwide, school-based, and individual teacher grant requests. As we continue to fund grant requests annually, we also are committed to building an endowment that will expand these life-changing experiences for Reading School District students, while strengthening our future community workforce for years to come.
