Readers' Choice Literacy Grant

Better World Books announced the creation of its Readers' Choice Literacy Grant. Twice a year, Better World Books' five primary non-profit literacy partners are now invited to submit grant proposals which will then be voted on by consumers on www.BetterWorldBooks.com. The winner each time will receive a significant grant to fund its proposal. Voting for the first grant will begin on Oct. 23, 2009. "We want to keep growing public awareness of the importance of literacy, and the Readers' Choice Literacy Grant is a great way to deepen our readers' engagement and empower them to help make a difference," said Better World Books CEO David Murphy.

Every book bought on BetterWorldBooks.com funds global literacy through Better World Books' five primary non-profit literacy partners (the National Center for Family Literacy, Books for Africa, Room to Read, Worldfund, and Invisible Children) as well as through nearly 100 other non-profit organizations.
