RFHF was a statewide early literacy project managed by Oregon Commission on Children and Families and Oregon State Library, funded by grants from the Oregon Community Foundation and the Paul G. Allen Family Foundation. The project was active from 2008 to May 2011.

As of June 2011, continued support for local early literacy efforts will be provided indefinitely via resources on this website, an electronic discussion list, and consulting services for Oregon librarians and Healthy Start staff.
