Opportunities for Nonprofits
Scholastic, Inc. offers a corporate in-kind book program
(Scholastic Book Grants Program) to provide reading material to
the nation’s neediest young people. Large scale grant recipients
are identified in September every year. Scholastic disburses
smaller book grants and other in kind donations to literacy
organizations which have tax exempt classification (170(c) and 501
(c)(3). Requests from organizations that serve the needs of at
risk children or families particularly those living in inner city or
rural areas are more likely to be granted.
Interested organizations may apply for grants of 50 to 200 books
must submit requests in writing with proof of tax exempt status to:
Scholastic, Inc., Angela Sharmel, 557 Broadway, New York, NY
10012. In the request, indicate intended book use and grade
levels of children to be served. Grants are made on a quarterly
basis. Incomplete applications will not be considered nor will
faxed or emailed requests. Requests from individuals; individual
schools; and political, religious, fraternal, labor or sports groups
are not considered. The books may not be used for fundraisers
or capital campaigns.
The Alliance for Young Artists and Writers (www.scholastic.
com/artandwriting) (212-343-6892) offers young artists and
writers a change to compete. Scholastic Arts & Writing Awards
programs are the largest and longest running student scholarship
program in the U.S. Entrants from grades 7 thorough 12 may
compete.
