On December 5, 2007 Fresno Covenant Foundation revealed its new name. Reading and Beyond was chosen as our new name because Reading spotlights what has been the heart of the organization since day one - helping low-income children build strong reading and academic skills.

But as an organization our mission also goes Beyond helping children learn to read. We believe that there are many “foundations” that need to be built to help a child grow up and lead a productive life, like involved parents, entering school prepared, good health, and knowing how to prepare for college. Our name may have changed but our commitment to children and families remains the same.
