Better World Books uses the power of e-commerce to generate funding for leading literacy initiatives around the world. In turn, our partners use these finds to build schools, start libraries and provide scholarships worldwide. When you sign up to participate in a Reuse First Program, you get to select which of our nonprofits you’d like to help.

The following four are our major nonprofit literacy partners:

Books For Africa is a simple name for an organization with a simple mission. BFA collects, sorts, ships and distributes books to children in Africa. The goal: to end the book famine in Africa. Since 1988, Books For Africa has shipped more than 20 million books. These books are now on once empty library shelves, in the classrooms of rural schools, and in the hands of children who have never held a book before.
The National Center for Family Literacy’s mission is to create a literate nation by leveraging the power of the family. Through groundbreaking initiatives, the NCFL fuels life improvement for the nation’s most disadvantaged children and parents. More than one million families throughout the country have made positive educational and economic gains as a result of the NCFL’s work, which includes training more than 150,000 teachers and thousands of other volunteers.
Room to Read has developed a holistic, multi-pronged approach to help children in the developing world gain the lifelong gift of education. This approach includes building schools, establishing bilingual libraries, publishing local language books, establishing computer labs, and funding long-term girls’ scholarships. Since its inception in 2000, Room to Read has impacted the lives of over 1.7 million children.
Worldfund’s unique mission is to support high-quality and results-driven education in Latin America—the key to transforming lives and reducing poverty. Through their investment in schools, gifted student programs and superior teacher training, they have directly impacted 32,000 impoverished students in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, El Salvador, Guatemala, Mexico, Nicaragua, Peru and Venezuela.


The list doesn't stop there. We also work with the following groups:

Open Books is a nonprofit social venture that operates an extraordinary bookstore, provides community programs, and mobilizes passionate volunteers to promote literacy in Chicago and beyond.
The Robinson Community Learning Center is where it all began for us. Located in South Bend, Indiana, is an education outreach effort created by the University of Notre Dame that was opened in February 2001. They offer after school programs, mentoring, language and computer classes, job training initiatives, and much more.
The Prison Book Program gets books into the hands of prison inmates, who often lack any educational resources. As a grassroots organization operating on a shoestring budget, the organization’s partnership with Better World Books has has been essential--providing a stable source of funding.
