A Look Back at 10 Years of Read to Succeed . . .

This year, Read to Succeed celebrates a decade of community-powered literacy programming aimed at helping close the race-based opportunity gap in Asheville and Buncombe County.

Started in 2009 officially by Isaac Coleman, Catherine Alter, and a group of community activists, R2S trained and matched its first tutors with local elementary students in 2010. Our programming has grown from one school to over 12 schools and community partners, and our scope of work has expanded from K-3 tutoring to early childhood support and community/family engagement.

R2S 10th Anniversary Infographic

On any given week at R2S you might find volunteer reading tutors working in school and after school with students, R2S staff teaching phonics lessons at the Arthur R. Edington Center and Children First/Communities in Schools Buncombe County Learning Center, family reading newsletters and book bundles being distributed to partners, kindergarten-readiness trainings happening with early childhood teachers, family reading events happening, and much more!

Give Through a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD)
If you’re 70½ years old or older, an IRA charitable rollover is a great option to lower your income taxes while doing good for others.
  • QCDs count toward your Required Minimum Distribution (up to $100,000)
  • ​The amount of your gift is excluded from your reported income for federal income tax purposes - your gift is 100% tax free!​
  • Most importantly - your gift may be used immediately to support Read to Succeed Asheville/Buncombe

Give an Appreciated Asset(s)
If you wish to make a gift to support R2S this year but are concerned about preserving your cash resources, consider a gift of an appreciated asset like stock or real estate. Click the Donate Stock button below or visit donatestock.com/r2sasheville for a safe, fast, and easy way to facilitate a stock donation.
  • Avoid capital gains tax: 15-30% you’d pay if you sold the stock
  • Get a bigger deduction by making a pre-tax contribution
  • Your nonprofit of choice keeps the money you would have paid to the IRS

Use a Donor Advised Fund (DAF)

If you are looking for an end-of-year deduction but want more time to make thoughtful giving decisions, consider a donor advised fund (DAF). Make a tax-deductible gift from your DAF to support our work.

As you consult with your personal financial and tax advisors for your individual tax planning and charitable donations this year and in the future, we sincerely hope that you will include Read to Succeed in your plans.
