Funding & Recognition
Grants to Provide Reading Materials to Disadvantaged Children
School libraries serving disadvantaged children in prekindergarten through grade 12 are eligible for grants from the Snapdragon Book Foundation. The grants typically range from $2,500 to $10,000. When applying for a grant, applicants should request the amount needed; if the foundation is unable to fulfill the complete request, it may offer a partial grant. The funds are intended for books that will be used repeatedly by school-aged children through classroom libraries, a central library (or something similar); processing or cataloguing fees from book vendors; reference materials for student use; and magazine or newspaper subscriptions.
Deadline: Applications are due by February 16, 2022. Winners will be notified in May 2022; checks will be mailed to schools at that time.
