First Book-DC, a volunteer-led advisory board that fundraises to award teachers and nonprofits book grants to use in their reading programs or curriculum.
This spring,we
closed the book on another record-breaking grant cycle. Thanks to the success of our fall online giving campaign and the efforts of our board, we awarded a record-breaking
$16,000 in grants ranging from $150 to $3,500 to 19 deserving schools and non-profit organizations serving low-income students our Nation's capital. With these grants, these organizations will be able to distribute over 6,000 books to children who may not have access to books of their own at home or school and use the books in their nonprofit's literacy curriculum. We're having a celebration to formally recognize our grantees and I'd love for you to come to this FREE event.

Our board also have a few openings. Check them out here and apply by May 31st!
