2020 Grants: COVID-19 Response
As a response to the sudden closure of schools as a result of Covid-19, grant requests were accepted for teachers seeking urgent funding for distance learning and/or other urgent personal expenses. Must have a teacher identifiable valid email address, be listed on a school directory, and have an urgent need related to the effects of Covid19. Individual grants were available up to $500 per eligible teacher. Grants will be approved on a rolling basis. You will be notified if you are approved for a grant. Eligible personal expenses include funds needed for urgent basic needs or other family assistance.

Utilizing reading as our superpower can help make changing the world a little easier. #Juneteenth commemorates the day the last enslaved people were emancipated in the US in 1865. Share your projects or wishlists that carry on this mission and we’ll do our part to support them.
