Why Host a Brooklyn Book Bodega Fundraiser?

  • Every dollar donated allows Brooklyn Book Bodega to get more high-quality, high-interest books into children’s hands. Your support is 100% tax-deductible.

  • You will have an impact on local kids and families by increasing the number of 100+ book homes.

  • Education = Opportunity. Your dollars help kids and families read their way into more opportunities. 

  • It is easy and gratifying! Fundraise for your birthday on social media, and send out a letter explaining why to your friends and family. Celebrate a life occasion by asking your guests to donate to Brooklyn Book Bodega in lieu of gifts. There are so many options! Check out our guide for tips and a sample letter.
