Reach Out and Read Receives Fast Company's Social Capitalist Award In December, Fast Company Magazine and the Monitor Group named Reach Out and Read as one of the winners of their fifth annual Social Capitalist Award. The award recognizes outstanding performance by entrepreneurial organizations in the non-profit sector, and honors our work putting books into the hands of children who need them the most. ROR was recognized for our cost-effectiveness as a program, and for our strong record of research support. ROR joins 44 non-profits nationwide who were recognized for using the tools of business to solve the world's most pressing social problems - ranging from poor healthcare in developing nations to unequal education access, homelessness, unemployment, and substance abuse in the United States - and who have demonstrated a "consistent and unusually large impact on society." For five years, Fast Company has partnered with global consulting firm Monitor Group to identify, evaluate, and recognize top-performing nonprofit organizations. The awards assess social entrepreneurial organizations of different sizes and ages across social sectors as an effort to further performance measurement and accountability in the social sector in a highly rigorous, data-driven, comparative approach. We are thrilled to be one of the organizations recognized by Fast Company, and we appreciate your help in making ROR an outstanding organization.   Return
