The Reading Revolution is a Trust charity in the Arts & Culture sector in New Zealand. Annual revenue: $0.0M NZD. Financial data as at March 2025.
Mission: The community need that we meet is the need for meaningful social contact. Our society uses technology for speed and efficiency of communication, there are still however many people who exist on the other side of the digital divide. The elderly, prisoners, rough sleepers and many others may not have access to social networks that provide meaningful connections with others. The Reading Revolution provides face to face weekly meetings where the group builds trust to discuss the big issues. We use a literature intervention that allows us to engage with great thinkers and art in a relaxed forum. At the Reading Revolution we provide access to great literature through our shared reading groups. We read short stories and poetry aloud to facilitate this access for those who may experience psychological or physical barriers to reading.

Financial data as at March 2025. Sourced from Charities Services register.
Charities Services Tier 3 reporting allows charities under $2M revenue to file a simple-format annual return rather than audited financial statements. The return reports totals but not the program/administration split or the line-item detail our template needs. No red flags were detected in what was filed, and revenue is below the $2M Tier 2 boundary where audited accounts become mandatory. A letter grade is withheld rather than assigning one that would be driven by the template-fit, not the charity's operations. The charity's filed figures are shown above, and any structural concerns a donor would want to look at are surfaced separately. (v3.3 — aligned with Charities Services tier boundary; matches Charity Navigator and CharityWatch US practice.)
