Literacy for a LifetimeWith 25% of the nation's population having less than ten books in the home, we're excited about the potential for our matching grant program to change this. Literacy for a Lifetime is a partnership that aligns Educational Development Corporation/Usborne Books with businesses, foundations, and individuals to support local schools, literacy groups, and other organizations that promote community literacy. The program offers a 50% matching grant in books for every grant dollar or donated dollar used to purchase Usborne Books. For example, a $5000 purchase is matched with an additional $2500, and the organization receives $7500 in educational materials from EDC. This program can be used as often as grants or donations become available, and there is no cap on purchases. PTO/PTA funds, library Birthday Book Clubs, and state and federal grant funds are also eligible for the Literacy for a Lifetime program. The receiving organization may have full control over the selection of books. We can include bookplates with the books to recognize the benefactor. Find out more about Literacy for a Lifetime.

A Message for Potential BenefactorsIf you'd like to see your donation dollars impact community literacy, then Literacy for a Lifetime will enable you to maximize your giving. The need for high-quality educational books that appeal to both children and adults is great. Potential recipients include: Montgomery County Children's Services
