The Reader's Digest Foundation is dedicated to creating opportunities and promoting efforts that encourage individuals to make a positive difference in their communities. The Make It Matter program, the Foundation's newest initiative, honors individuals who are taking action and giving back to their communities in a significant way.

Each month, through 2008, Reader's Digest magazine will profile an individual who has made a significant contribution to his or her community. Considering the subject of the selected story, the Foundation will select an appropriate nonprofit organization and grant $100,000 to that organization in honor of the person featured in the story.
