In order to qualify for a Gift of Books, your school must meet a few simple requirements:
Applicant should be a Title 1 school or writing on behalf of a Title 1 school. If not a Title 1 school, applicant must give cite the percentage of free and reduced lunches at their school, or other qualification for low income status.
After-school programs may submit proposals. Please include a description of the program and statement of low-income status.
Teachers will be eligible to receive books once every two years. Teachers submitting proposals may request books for multiple classrooms within the school! Also, more than one teacher per Title 1 school may apply for a grant.
Magic Tree House books and their companion nonfiction Fact Trackers are effective teaching tools for Kindergarten, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th grade levels as well as both Special Education and Gifted classrooms. Keep in mind, books may be shared among the classrooms within your school.
Proposals will be evaluated by our committee of educators and grants will be awarded to the schools with the most creative and meaningful initiatives. We especially love to hear how Magic Tree House books and Fact Trackers will be used across the curriculum in your classroom!
Winning schools will be notified via e-mail by a Gift of Books representative with their grant amount and instructions on how to register and obtain their Magic Tree House books through FirstBook.org, a non-profit organization providing access to books and other resources for children in need.
Grant awards typically range from $100 to $300. Winning teachers are able to select and order their books using their Gift of Books grant funds directly from the First Book Marketplace where books are available at very low rates.
We only award grants to Title 1 eligible school teachers.
