1,000 Doors Opened — Thousands More to Go

By Giving List Staff   |   July 8, 2025

Elias began fourth grade reading at a kindergarten level. After a year with J3, Elias’s reading skills soared, putting him on course to reach grade level for the first time. Students like Elias are why J3 partners with underserved LA schools, building 4th graders essential reading skills – it’s a pivotal year for lifelong learning. Without intervention, reading gaps can follow a student for life, their opportunity lost.

This year J3 celebrates serving 1,000 students annually – three years ahead of schedule! Join them in celebrating the stories and students behind that milestone.

J3 Foundation addresses one of society’s most pressing issues – low literacy rates among underserved children – with a strategic and data-driven approach.
As a founding board member, I’ve seen how every dollar invested in J3 yields measurable outcomes: higher reading scores, improved confidence, and long-term academic success. For those looking to make a meaningful impact, I can think of no better way than supporting J3’s efforts to change the course of a child’s future through literacy.

Act Now to Rewrite a Child’s Future

Without support from a donor like you, these fourth graders risk getting left behind. 

Transform one child’s life for $1,500. Cover the cost of a trained Reading Coach for an entire school year at $10,000. Best of all, you could fund J3 Foundation’s expansion and make their dreams come true. $500,000 opens J3’s reading program at 10 new schools, reaching hundreds more children.  

Every dollar brings J3 closer to empowering more students to turn the page toward brighter futures. Please consider donating today to support this vital cause.
