At RIF NOVA, books change lives. Every year, RIF NOVA ensures that more than20,000 children are able to choose free books to begin building their home libraries, a key factor in reading success. Many come from economically disadvantaged households, where the pandemic closure of classrooms and libraries further deepened learning divides. RIF NOVA raises funds to fill this gap by providing a wide range of new books and literacy activities to engage Pre-K through eighthgrade students in reading. A donated book program augments book options, with a collection of over 50,000 new and used book donations to date. An authors-inschools program brings diverse authors and their books to classrooms. A STEAM program provides relevant books and hands-on STEAM learning activities. Book by book, RIF NOVA gives children opportunities to read and succeed.

About Spur Local
Every year, 190+ local nonprofits (with budgets under $4M) apply to join the Spur Local network. 170+ community volunteers assess these applications for impact. 100% of organizations are site visited and financially reviewed. Finally, 76+ critical, local nonprofits are selected for inclusion in Spur Local's annual print and digital catalog, and enter a four-year partnership with us. Since 2003, we have raised over $65 million for nonprofits across the Greater Washington region. We charge no fees and raise funds separately to support our work.
Spur Local looks to friends like you to keep our services independent and entirely free of charge. Consider a small contribution to Spur Local to cap off your gift and help the causes you care about get the full support they deserve!
