Programs: Reading is Fundamental

PROGRAMS

Since 1991, the Mazda Foundation has been investing in the lives of children in Mazda communities located in California, Michigan, and Mississippi. Mazda's support of RIF provides children with free books and motivational activities to inspire them to read more. Our grants serve over 17,000 students at 53 schools and Head Start Centers. Mazda's sponsorship is enhanced by the volunteer efforts of Mazda employees, who assist program coordinators, distribute the books to students, and act as storytellers. Mazda is proud to be recognized in RIF's Contributors' Platinum Circle.
