There is still time to submit an application. This is Better World Books eighth-annual Literacy Grants designed to address the literacy needs of communities across the world. Libraries and educational nonprofit literacy organizations can apply for funds to support their efforts to further literacy in their communities. As a Founding B Corporation, Better World Books has raised over $26 million to date for literacy causes worldwide. Libraries and nonprofits may pitch only one project each, with a maximum award of $15,000 (or equivalent) per project. Organizations must clearly outline the project elements that require the requested funds. The Better World Books Literacy Council will review the projects. The Literacy Council will select library and nonprofit winners. The deadline for both library and nonprofit applicants is May 31, 2018, at 11:59 PM ET. To learn more about our Literacy Grants, read about past winners or to apply for a grant visit https://cares.betterworldbooks.com/grants/. Good luck! The Better World Books Literacy Council [http://na87.salesforce.com/servlet/servlet.ImageServer?oid=00D300000000QKd&esid=0181W00000wSxHv]
