How to participate

Your school, cheerleading squad, band, or other organization is looking for a way to raise funds simply, consistently, safely.

You need:

  • A product that is an easy sell.
  • A program that's organized, proven, and headache-free.
  • Activities and rewards that are fun and engaging for students as well as teachers, principals, band leaders, or anyone else involved.

You've come to the right place: The Reading at Home Program from National Community Services, Inc.

Reading at Home is more than a traditional magazine program. In fact, with 32 years of experience, we have set the standards for quick, reliable and accurate clearing of magazine subscriptions.

Magazine sales consistently are the largest fundraising drives. Schools have quick access to profits because students collect money and subscriptions at the same time. There are no products to deliver. No need for a warehouse. In fact, this program is so easy it is fast becoming a favorite to the middle school age student.

We understand sales. We know how to motivate and involve young people. But most of all, we can help you achieve your goals.


Program Features & Benefits

Service is our primary product, and we have organized our program to offer our clients several direct benefits.

Fast, Accurate Fulfillment

Thanks to the nation's most accurate and fastest computerized fulfillment systems, the first magazine should arrive 12-14 weeks from the receipt of the order. So the customer receives the correct magazine on-time. More satisfied customers, less chance of complaint.

Superior Customer Service

NCS uses highly trained in-house customer service representatives who generally can offer solutions while the customer is on the line. Responses are monitored and evaluated, ensuring superior, faster service.

Orders Confirmed With Customers

Every person who orders a subscription receives a confirmation card or email listing magazine title and number of issues ordered, frequency of delivery, approximate delivery date of first issue, NCS toll-free number. A "thank you" message from the school is included. This eliminates the majority of calls a school may receive.

Report Aids Repeat Business

The Student Audit Report (SAR), developed by NCS, lists all students, their customers, and magazines purchased. The report can be easily distributed to students, providing a "hot prospect" list for the next program making it invaluable for building a repeat customer base.

Specialized Program Simplifies Data Collection

A unique software program developed by NCS provides an easy way to accumulate a range of data concerning the sales program. Reports of several different categories can be run for any specific day or for the total program. Thus, a school or organization can stay constantly updated on the project's status.

Network of Independent fundraising Professionals

We are proud to be closely affiliated with more than 100 highly experienced fundraising professionals. An annual meeting gives these veterans an opportunity to share ideas and success stories, allowing other participants to benefit from their experience.

Some of what our current fundraising clients have to say about the Reading at Home Program:


"We've been involved with magazine fundraising for 12 years. We've had the pleasure of working with RAH for several of those years. Let's just say that RAH knows fundraising and RAH knows kids."


"RAH's prize program is incredible. But the way they present it at the kickoff is even better. The teachers and students just love it."


"As a principal, anytime our students leave campus, it's important for me to know they are well organized and safe. Our limo cruise with RAH was well organized fun from beginning to end. I got to go and the kids really had a blast!"


"The RAH prize program is unbelievable and centers around a huge party. There are all types of activities as well as inflatable games kids love. The party doesn't just happen, while the kids are there, they pull out all the stops to make sure the kids have an awesome time."
