How to Help

PLEASE DONATE TO RIF NOVA
Three Options: Funds, Books, Time!

You can help RIF NOVA in three major ways: Giving funds, giving books, and giving time. Each donation makes a major difference!

Our most pressing need each year is to raise funds to purchase new books for 20,000+ children at the 30+ Title 1 schools and child development centers we serve. All elementary schools are Title 1 schools, which means that the school has high numbers of low-income students. 

You can help by giving donations yourself, helping to identify and connect with potential donors (individuals, foundations, businesses, etc.), and providing hands-on help with fundraising activities. Every $4.00 given = one book for one child.

As of summer 2026, our Donated Books program had taken in over 60,000 new and almost-new books for redistribution — not only to established RIF NOVA schools and sites but also to additional community partners and schools seeking reading materials for children and families.

If you have new or like-new gently used books to give or if you would like to set up a book drive to collect books for RIF NOVA, please contact us. Our gently used book program allows us to redistribute books to other community partners. If you are a non-profit organization needing books for the children in your programs, we will try to help.  

Among those needed are volunteers with backgrounds and skills in fundraising, event planning and support, social media expansion, program development, grant writing, nonprofit leadership, and community engagement. Time contributions can range from helping with a specific project or event to joining our board for a more sustained commitment.

Anyone with these skills, interests, or other ideas is encouraged to contact RIF NOVA at our email address: info@rifnova.org or via the contact form below.
