Indy Reads is a great investment. For every $1 invested in teach an adult to read, $33 are returned back to the community through increased wages and savings. Adults who can't read cost the community an estimated $20,000 a year in public assistance, health care, and incarceration costs.

And yet, it only costs Indy Reads $500 per year to help an adult learn to read.

Your generosity will help improve lives and open doors to new opportunities for our adult learners.
