Owning the Dash and Kids Need to Read

Empowering Kids Through Financial Literacy

KIDS NEED TO READ has partnered with Owning the Dash, LLC to bring Financial Literacy Kits to children and families across the nation.

These kits are designed to help kids understand money, set goals, and build a future rooted in financial confidence and independence. It’s about more than dollars and cents—it’s about changing lives through knowledge.

Why It Matters

Too many children grow up without access to basic financial education, which can lead to long-term instability and limited opportunities.

By donating to this campaign, you can help provide these powerful tools to underserved communities—through schools, public libraries, and nonprofit service organizations.

We partner with:

• Public schools

• Libraries

• 501(c)(3) community organizations

• Governmental agencies

to distribute books and educational resources directly to the children who need them most.

Your Impact

Your donation helps children build home libraries, supports educators, and strengthens community programs focused on literacy and life skills.

“Our new classroom teachers were VERY EXCITED to receive these free books to use in their classrooms this school year.”— Erika Williamson, Washington School District

When you give, you’re placing books and lifelong lessons into the hands of children—many of whom have never owned a book of their own.
