QSP Makes a Difference
Helping young people is our business. Since 1964, we have helped students raise over 3 billion dollars in profits for enrichment programs and worthwhile projects that are vital to a meaningful, well-rounded education. With QSP programs, students apply practical lessons in goal setting, planning, organization and teamwork - important facets of a successful real-world business experience. Year after year, QSP fundraising professionals are invited into more than 40,000 schools because of their sensitivity to the unique challenges today's educators face, as well as the proven success of our programs.
We offer schools and organizations no-risk, no-investment fundraising. Each program has been field and time tested, is easy to implement, and has excellent profit potential. As a QSP fundraising professional, you are the direct link to a company that not only puts customer needs first; it delivers a value-added service to the community.
QSP's Heritage
QSP is part of Time, Inc., a global publisher and direct marketer of products that inform, enrich, entertain and inspire people of all ages and all cultures around the world. Our flagship publication, Reader's Digest magazine, is the world's most widely read magazine, reaching 100 million people a month. QSP's beginnings can be traced to a 1963 dinner-table discussion with a few magazine titles scribbled on a paper napkin. QSP was envisioned as a company that could help shape the hearts and minds of children by assisting and strengthening schools and youth groups across America.
QSP has come a long way from its first program, which was conducted in the spring of 1964 with only 119 magazine titles. We currently offer more than 700 magazine titles and a selection of best-selling Reader's Digest books through our Family Reading Program®.
Music, food and gift programs round out our fund-raising opportunities for schools and youth groups. In the beginning, most of the sales activity was concentrated in senior high schools. Today, QSP works with nearly 40,000 schools and youth groups, serving millions of young people of all ages with programs designed to enrich the educational experience with a real-life business experience. Built on a heritage of service to America's youth, and, in keeping with our mission, we have helped non-profit youth organizations, such as schools, raise over three billion dollars for educational enrichment since those early days.
