Better World Books sells used and new books online to fund meaningful literacy programs and projects around the world. EVERY book we sell helps generate this funding, and with the help of our partners and customers we have raised over $9 million since 2002.

We have found that many of our customers would like to better understand and get involved in literacy initiatives. In an effort to more deeply engage these customers while continuing to fund meaningful literacy projects, Better World Books started the Reader's Choice Literacy Grant to to let our customers determine which projects should receive special funding from our General Literacy Fund.

We've awarded 3 such grants of $20,000 so far! View the grant winners here.
