Snapdragon Book Foundation - Grant Opportunity for Schools

The Snapdragon Book Foundation was started in December, 2008 to provide funds to improve school libraries for disadvantaged children. Grants will be awarded to public, private, and experimental schools.

Founded by a former school librarian, this foundation exists to put books in the hands of kids. In a time when many schools are reallocating their funds to technology and audiovisual equipment, we hope to make sure that school libraries are still offering children good books to read.

The Snapdragon Book Foundation accepts applications through April 15th each year. Open ended questions on the online application are designed to encourage extended answers.

This is one of relatively few grant opportunites available to add books to school libraries.
