About READS Foundation

Built to close the gap between talent and opportunity.

READS Foundation Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to expanding education and career opportunities for underserved, rural, immigrant, and underrepresented communities worldwide.

READS Foundation
Our Story

A nonprofit built on a single belief.

A person's zip code, immigration status, or economic background should never determine whether they can access career-changing education and mentorship.

Incorporated on July 1, 2025, and IRS-approved as a 501(c)(3) public charity in August 2025, READS Foundation brings together digital literacy, technical bootcamps, project-based learning, and career readiness into one continuous pathway, from first lesson to first paycheck.

“Access to education and careers should not depend on where you're from.”

Our Values

What guides everything we do.

Equity First

Every decision starts with: does this open a door for someone who didn't have one?

Honest Always

We are early-stage. We share real numbers, real constraints, and real plans, not inflated impact claims.

Outcomes Over Outputs

Training without a career pathway is incomplete. We build toward employment, not just completion.

Globally Grounded

We serve underserved learners worldwide, with local programs, partnerships, and community initiatives.

Mission-Driven Partnerships

We collaborate with aligned organizations, universities, employers, community groups, to multiply impact.

Learner-Centered

Programs are shaped by what learners actually need to succeed, not what's easy to deliver.
