Become a South Sound Reading Foundation Sponsor!
Sponsorships help us build partnerships in the community.
Your business can help children and get your name out to the community by sponsoring one of our events, programs, or book van. Click the button below for a printable version of our 2025 Sponsorship opportunities.
Sponsor our... Programs
Our programs educate children and families about the importance of reading and strive to get books into the hands of every child so they have the tools they need to read and succeed.
What are the benefits of sponsoring an SSRF program? Besides getting books to the children of your community, SSRF sponsorship advertises your support by including your logo or name (depending on sponsorship level) on our website, e-Newsletters, and social media posts.
