Kentucky Shipping Fund Application Logo
  • Kentucky Shipping Fund Application

    Paid for by Lexington Rotary Endowment Fund and generous private donors
  • Thank you for your interest in promoting literacy in your community! 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

    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 organization is located in Lexington, we ask that you pick your box up in person at our warehouse in the interest of most efficiently using our available shipping funds. If your Kentucky-based organization is located outside of Lexington, you may pick up at our warehouse or the books will be shipped to you.

    Each selected application entitles your organization to ONE (1) free box containing 60-100 books.

    Please note: We receive hundreds of applications annually. If we have not responded to your request within 3 weeks, it means we were unable to process your request at this time and you are encouraged to re-apply in 3 months. If you have any questions, please call 859-254-6771.
