Sydney Paige Foundation

LITERACYOur literacy initiative, launched in 2021, encompasses book borrowing as well as book ownership. Examples of book borrowing include donating to existing school and non-profit libraries based on their reading level and subject needs, creating mini libraries in transitional housing communities and replenishing neighborhood lending libraries. For book ownership, we give 1 bundle of 3 brand new books per child, toddler to young adult. We segment donations to ensure we provide a prioritized mix of STEM, social emotional and multicultural books to best meet the needs of each project.16,521 students served. 21,737 books donated.
