The Children's Book Company behind the Idea:
Educational Development Corporation was incorporated in 1965 to develop curriculum materials for schools. In 1978 the Publishing Division was created and the company quickly became a leading publisher of children's non-fiction books with over 1300 titles today. Literacy for a Lifetime™ is a matching grant program designed to support educational funding on the local level - joining with businesses, foundations, and individuals to support local educational institutions.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
- Who qualifies? Do I need a tax-free number to qualify? What about religious schools, etc.?
Donations made to charitable organizations or educational institutions qualify. You do not have to have a tax-free number to qualify.
Example: A quality daycare, incorporating lots of educational activities throughout the day... like reading, art, music and science (not just "babysitting") who received a $200 donation would qualify. Spend the $200 in our program and receive $300 in books! - What is the minimum grant or donation amount to participate in Literacy for a Lifetime matching children's book grant program?
$200 is the minimum. We suggest smaller organizations group their donations together to reach the $200 minimum. - What is the maximum grant amount that you will match with an additional 50% in books?
There is no maximum cap. If your grant is for $50,000 you would receive $75,000 in books and so forth. There is no limit! - How many times can my organization use the 50% matching grant program?
There is no limit. You can use the program again and again as donations and grants become available. - Who chooses the books?
Usually the organization receiving the books chooses the books, including the 50% grant matching free books. - Can I make a book donation to my church, school, etc.?
Yes. If you are a donor and wish to surprise an organization with the actual books (as opposed to giving them a check), complete the packet above to the best of your ability and we will do the rest. - When is the donation tax deductible?
Donations made to an educational institution are tax deductible to corporations, individuals, and foundations. For an individual donor to receive a credit on their income tax (for charitable donation), the check (or credit card) must be written to a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization. Individuals making donations to educational institutions should make their check payable to the school and the school in turn will pay KidsReadMore.com by check or other means. - We want to send the donated books to South America or other non-US country. Will you ship for free?
No. We only ship for FREE within the USA. We suggest you set aside some of the donation or grant money for additional shipping after the books arrive at your organization. - Do you have accelerated reader titles?
Yes.
- Who qualifies? Do I need a tax-free number to qualify? What about religious schools, etc.?
