The First Book DC Advisory Board raises local funds to provide eligible programs with high-quality, brand new books to the children they serve. We're currently accepting applications, and invite your classroom organization to apply for a book grant. Previous grantees used their book grants for novel study, shared reading and guided reading groups, among other literacy components. To qualify for a book grant, applicants must be a tutoring, mentoring, family literacy program, or classroom that works with children from low-income families.
The First Book DC Advisory Board works to compliment existing work of community-based educational programs by offering new books and educational materials at no cost to the child or program. After receiving the grant, program administrators and teachers select books and create lesson plans and programming. These books are then given to the children to take home and keep.
Prior to completing an application, applicants must first register to be a First Book recipient group. Click here to become a registered group. Your personal ID number from this registration process is a required part of your application.>> You can find the online link to the application here. <<
We welcome the opportunity to consider your program for a book grant from First Book-DC. To apply, please review the book grant application guidelines, register to become a recipient group, and complete the enclosed application. Return via email at applications.firstbookdc@gmail.com by Thursday, February 28, 2013 at 11:59 pm ET. Please note that individual teachers or classrooms must apply. Applications for schools as a whole or teachers who copy and paste the same application will not be accepted.
