OUR PARTNERS

Book Trust’s philanthropic partners provide the resources needed to expand our reach, increase our impact, and give every child the opportunity to discover the joy and power of reading.

Scholastic Book Clubs has served schools and families since 1948 by providing affordable, just-right books for kids that are carefully selected by teachers and reading experts. Our partnership with Scholastic, which was created when Book Trust was first established, is the backbone of our program.

Their generous support of both financial and in-kind gifts to Book Trust make it possible for every child in a Book Trust classroom to choose and take books home throughout the school year. The Scholastic mission has always been to harness the power of reading for all children. We are thankful and proud to collaborate with Scholastic and support their commitment to inspire young people to reach their full potential through reading and literacy. 

"Scholastic is proud of our more than two decades of work with Book Trust to provide all kids in participating schools the exciting experience of picking books for themselves through Scholastic Book Clubs. Our shared mission is getting more books into the hands of more kids, and we look forward to continuing our work together and witnessing its monumental impact flourish in the forthcoming year." —Alison Angell, Senior Director of Strategy, Scholastic Reading Events
