    The Snapdragon Book Foundation

    Summary

    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 funds to technology and audiovisual equipment, The foundation hopes to make sure that school libraries are still offering children good books to read.


    Money from Snapdragon Book Foundation may be used for:

    • Books that will be used repeatedly by school-aged children through classroom libraries, central library (or something similar)
    • Processing or cataloging fees from book vendors (for processing of the books ordered in conjunction with your Snapdragon project)
    • Reference materials for use by students
    • Magazine or newspaper subscriptions
