Small Communities and Rural Book Donation Grants

There are many restrictions so be sure to read the guidelines - this is an in-kind only grant - no funds are awarded -

• The Bi-Annual Program- is designed to donate books to literacy programming in small and rural communities only. The organizational budget limit to be eligible is currently set at $150,000.00 annually.
• The community where the organization is located must be an underserved community. It is not enough to have a certain number of families within a community that are underserved to qualify. The population where the organization is located must be under 50,000.
• The program must have a strong focus on remedial reading programming or a tutoring component. Book Bag programs, mobile libraries, gifts and give-a-ways, events or book club requests will not be granted through the Bi-Annual Donation program.
