Everybody Wins! Atlanta

The need is urgent—and the moment is challenging.

📊 In Atlanta, most students are not reading on grade level by 3rd grade, putting them at risk for long-term academic struggles.

This year has also brought significant funding challenges for nonprofits, making community support more important than ever.

Everybody Wins Atlanta remains committed to helping students succeed through consistent, one-on-one literacy support—but we cannot do this work alone.

💙 Your support today helps ensure students continue to receive the literacy tools they need to thrive. https://givebutter.com/iCSW4T

📚 Our focus remains where it belongs: helping students succeed.

In Atlanta, fewer than 3 in 10 students are reading on grade level by the end of 3rd grade—a critical milestone that shapes a child’s entire academic future.

At the same time, nonprofits across our community are facing unprecedented funding challenges, even as the need for services continues to grow.

That’s where Everybody Wins Atlanta’s Power Lunch comes in.

Power Lunch helps students build the reading skills, confidence, and consistency they need during this pivotal moment—but we need your help now to continue serving our students in the year ahead.

When you invest in early literacy, you invest in lifelong opportunity.
