About Room to Read
We envision a world in which all children can pursue a quality education that enables them to reach their full potential and contribute to their communities and the world.
Room to Read seeks to transform the lives of millions of children in developing countries by focusing on literacy and gender equality in education. Working in collaboration with local communities, partner organizations and governments, we develop literacy skills and a habit of reading among primary school children, and support girls to complete secondary school with the relevant life skills to succeed in school and beyond.
Room to Read believes that World Change Starts with Educated Children.®
The CRM Vision
This is your current situation.
The Disconnected Nonprofit
• Disconnected Constituent Records Stranded in Disconnected Systems
• Miscommunication, missed opportunity, compromised constituent experience, trust erosion
This is the impact on your constituents and you.
Constituent Engagement Strategy
• How do we want to relate to our constituents?
• How do we want then to relate to each other?
• How do we want them to relate to us?
• How can we all do more together?
Putting the constituent at the center of your thinking.
