Better World Books is looking for nonprofit organizations with “Life Changing” ideas which help advance a compelling literacy project.
Grants are intended to compile a wide range of projects and fund the ones that have the longest-lasting impact in their library or community.
Better World Books partners with thousands of libraries across the world. In addition to working with international nonprofit groups like Room to Read and Books for Africa, they also fund community-focused projects that have an impact at the local level.
Better World Books believes in the power of knowledge. So their goal is to help those who supply it and share it with those who crave it.
Funding Information
