What is the Raintree Match Funding Scheme?

Introducing Raintree's Match Funding Scheme - the innovative programme designed to help schools in the UK create a culture of reading like never before. Our scheme is tailored to meet the specific needs of your school, providing you with all the necessary resources to transform your students into avid readers.

Through our scheme, your school will receive matching funds to support the purchase of fiction and non-fiction books. So if you have £350 to spend, we'll provide you with an additional £350 in the same order, effectively doubling your book buying budget!

Our team of experts is on hand to provide guidance and support throughout the process, ensuring that your school has everything it needs to foster a love of reading in your students. From selecting the right books to implementing innovative reading programmes, we'll be there every step of the way.

 

Who can claim Match Funding?

With Raintree's Match Funding Scheme, you won't just be getting a financial boost - you'll be joining a community of educators dedicated to inspiring a lifelong love of reading.

From our Match Funding Community

"I was pleasantly surprised with the available titles of this scheme, including fiction and non-fiction copies. On top of this, most books have Accelerated Reader quizzes and they have been well-used by my students."
Minh Nguyen, Learning Resource Centre Manager Whitley Academy, West Midlands
"Working in a school in a deprived area, Raintree's Match Funding Scheme has been instrumental in regenerating our heavily used library. The children have enjoyed all the books delivered, and they have brought a renewed sense of enjoyment to reading!"
