They're Making it Matter

Through an initiative called Make it Matter, the Reader's Digest Foundation is donating $1 million to worthy causes over a one-year period. Each month, the Foundation selects someone who is giving back in a significant way and awards $100,000 to a nonprofit organization in honor of that individual.

Get inspired by the honorees and submit an individual or group for consideration.

Inspired by his story of harvest and community growth, RDF will award a $100,000 grant to Feeding America.
