Exciting news! First Book has been selected to be one of 50 nonprofits showcased in this year’s Members Project from American Express and TakePart.  If First Book can win the most votes in the Education category between now and August 22, we will win $200,000 – enough funding to provide 100,000 new books to children in low-income communities throughout the U.S.

Since 1992, we have distributed more than 70 million books to children in need. By casting a weekly vote for First Book, you can help us provide 100,000 more books to kids who need them most around the nation.
