If you are requesting books outside of the United States, please exit this application and fill out an International Shipment Application instead.
Thank you for your interest in promoting literacy in your community! Note: We receive hundreds of applications annually. To ensure your application's greatest chances of success, please provide as much detail as possible about your organization and how the books will benefit your community. If your application moves forward, you will hear from us! If you do not hear from us within 3 months of applying, that means we were unable to process your request at this time. We encourage you to reapply!
We will review your application based on the following criteria:
1. The organization's demonstrated need and potential reach
2. Our ability to provide the books requested
3. Our ability to ship books to the indicated address
A large shipment refers to a pallet (containing 1,500-2,500 books) or a 40-foot sea container (containing 25,000-35,000 books). If your organization is in need of a smaller amount of books (only a few boxes), please instead apply using the Domestic Small Shipment Application.
