Today Scholastic published their 2023-2024 Philanthropic Impact Report, featuring Book Trust in a partner spotlight. Book Trust is the largest and longest-standing sponsored Scholastic Book Club partner.

The report highlighted Book Trust’s work to provide direct support to the Maui community following the devastating 2023 wildfires in Lahaina, Hawaii.

Book Trust staff filled a booth at the Imua Discovery Garden’s Keiki Holiday Festival with more than 2,600 books—all donated by Scholastic. Children were able to enjoy the festival and were empowered to choose titles to take home to help rebuild their personal libraries, which were lost in the fires.

By partnering with Scholastic to sponsor the Book Clubs program for nearly 25 years, Book Trust offers hundreds of schools curated, developmentally appropriate, and culturally relevant print book options for students from Pre-K to fifth grade at no cost to students or their families.

“Ensuring literacy for all children is made possible by our extraordinary partners who share our mission,” Scholastic shared in a social media post. “Thank you for making the 2023-2024 school year incredible.”
