About READ ALOUD AMERICA INC

Read Aloud America (RAA) is a Honolulu-based 501(c)(3) literacy nonprofit founded in 1995 that promotes family-centered reading through its signature Read Aloud Program (RAP) and freely available resources. The organization’s EIN (99-0323798) corresponds to the operating charity based in Honolulu and its recent public filings and website materials confirm ongoing activity.

RAA delivers school-based, family-focused events (RAP), produces downloadable guides and curated reading lists, and has been expanding its digital reach since 2023 to provide resources nationwide. In recent years RAA has published annual reading lists and program resources (including 2024 and 2025 materials and a Summer Reading Program for 2025) and is preparing to launch a RAP Toolkit to support schools and communities.

Historically active across Hawai‘i, RAA reports cumulative reach in the hundreds of thousands and continues to operate as a donor-facing nonprofit with an active web presence, public program materials, and recent program adaptations following the pandemic.
