Grants with Deadlines

Matching Book Grants (K-2)

The Literacy Empowerment Foundation (LEF) has increased the size of the
matching grants available to $12,000.00 per school.  A school can now
order$24,000.00 worth of books and pay only $12,000.00.  (Any amount
purchased from $100.00 to $12,000.00 will be matched.)

The Matching Book Grant Program offers Guided Reading and Independent Reading Collections. Guided Reading Collections consist of six copies each of eighteen titles. Independent Reading Collections consist of one copy each of 108 titles.  With each set of Guided Reading and/or Independent Reading Collections purchased at the regular price, an additional set of books will be included. 

The Literacy Empowerment Foundation (LEF) is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization.  LEF currently supplies books to over 35,000 schools.  The number of books available in the Matching Book Grant Program has increased dramatically. Matching Book Grants allow your school to double its purchasing power.  This is a limited time offer that requires no special screening or applications.

Orders must be received by October 31, 2006.
