Read To Grow

We are always grateful for any contribution you make, any time you give. Your help directly affects hundreds of thousands of children. You empower families with the gift of books, the knowledge to develop language skills, and the promise of literacy for children.

Ways to make a difference:

Make a Monetary Donation

Your financial gift helps us purchase new books, support literacy programming, and reach more families every year.
  • Donate online securely with just a few clicks.
  • Make a one-time gift or set up a recurring donation to have an even greater impact.

Donate Books

We gratefully accept donations of new and gently used children’s books (for ages birth to teen). Your donated books will be shared directly with children, families, and educators across the state. Book donation guidelines:
  • We accept books in new or very good condition.
  • We cannot accept textbooks, encyclopedias, or books for adults.
Donations can be scheduled here and dropped off at our Branford office.

Host a Book Drive

Want to make an even bigger impact? Organize a book drive at your school, workplace, place of worship, or in your community! We’ll provide tips, materials, and support to help you run a successful drive that brings books to children who need them most. Get started with a book drive.

Your Gift Matters

Without donors, book drive organizers, and other volunteers, the Read to Grow mission of promoting early childhood literacy simply could not be realized. Together, we can build a future where every child has the books they need to learn, grow, and thrive.

Every donation—big or small—helps us put books into the hands of children who otherwise might not have them. Thank you for being part of the Read to Grow community and making a lifelong difference for young readers!
