Vision

Our vision is an Arkansas where all preschool children have books in their homes, develop a love of reading and learning, and begin school prepared to succeed, from kindergarten throughout their educational journeys.

Goals

1. 1.Serve 65% or more of the total 0 - 5 population in Arkansas. After reaching the 65% goal, ARIL will continue to grow the number of children receiving books in the state. ARIL desires for ALL children ages 0-5 to receive books.
2. 2.ARIL is focusing on strengthening affiliate infrastructure, growing enrollment and fundraising capacity, and engaging communities through current partners and potential new partnerships.
3. 3.Provide 50% matching dollars to support affiliates. In partnership with ADE, ARIL provides funding that covers 50% of the cost of books for every affiliate, leaving local programs to fund the remaining 50% of expenses. Grant funds ensure that ARIL can help Arkansas affiliates continue intentional enrollment growth by reducing the financial burden at the local level.
