Stories of Philanthropy and Giving

A Medium for Kindness

Thanks to the generosity of a Fresno Regional Foundation donor, a grant of $100,000 was made to ReadFresno, an organization whose vision is to have every child reading at or above grade level by the end of third grade. Some oFresno Regional Foundation staff and board members are volunteer readers at Kratt Elementary School in Fresno and get to experience firsthand the tremendous impact and satisfaction of taking the time to read with a Fresno school child.
