“Show me a family of readers, and I will show you the people who move the world.”
My greatest desire is to bring families and communities closer together through books. The impact of books on a child’s future success is too significant to ignore — getting more books into the hands of kids is critical. Thankfully, EDC Publishing’s many literacy programs allow us to provide free books to schools, families, children’s hospitals, foster care agencies, and other community organizations in need.
How can I help you?
Community programs & partnerships
There are a number of ways I can help you to support your local community! Whether you are a school looking to host a book fair or book drive, would like to get more mileage from your grant money, or need simple and efficient ways to raise more funds for your organization, I can help!
Book fairs and booth events
Our book fairs are easy and accessible to preschools and daycares, K-12 schools and programs, children’s hospitals, and any other community organization that would like to host an event to earn books free. Following the event, you will receive a product credit for 50% of the event’s sales!
We also are available to host booths at community festivals, vendor events, and literacy events.
Grants and book drives
Our goal is to help get books into the hands of kids who need them the most. We offer a 50% match on any literacy grant funding you have — available for any grant $250+, with no upper limit. This means if you bring us a $5000 grant, we can provide you with $7500 in products!
We also partner with local businesses and organizations to run book drives for donating books to kids in need.
Our “Gathered Goods” fundraisers offer a low-effort, high-return program that’s easy to run!
This simple program is available to any organization or individual needing to raise funds for special events, kids’ clubs, activity fees, medical needs, and more. With online ordering, you can gather support from your network, near or far! All orders ship directly to the customer, saving you from the work of sorting and distributing.
Virtual preschool & daycare book fairs
You can host a quick and easy preschool or daycare book fair — entirely online! There’s no need to make space for book fair tables in your classroom, no worry over accidental damage, and no stress over limited selections. Instead, student families can shop directly from their own homes at their convenience during your book fair.
Our virtual preschool book fair system is easy to follow! I’ll guide you through your book fair week and provide personalized suggestions for your student families. I’ll also provide a comprehensive packet with all the tips, wording, and graphics to help you make your event a success.
