Help us reach 10 million young people

By 2030, over a third of the world’s young people will be in Africa, and millions will have no books. Generation Reader is our ambitious new campaign to help 10 million young people unlock their potential through books. Your funding will:

Send 1.5 million books

Create 300 reading spaces

Train 1,500 teachers and librarians

If you prefer to fund something unrelated to young people, we also have a number of other funding options available. Just contact us to discuss your preferences.

Why partner with us?

You can support us your way

Whether you are interested in employee fundraising, cause-related marketing campaigns, making a corporate donation or supporting us in other ways, we are here to offer inspiration and advice. Equally, whether you want to help us send books worldwide or fund a specific programme – such as a new library – our flexible approach means we’ll work with you to make it happen.

We help you achieve your purpose

We understand our corporate partners have a range of objectives and how important these are. Through our partnership we do everything in our power to help you achieve your objectives.

We inspire employee engagement

Sharing the power of books is a cause your colleagues will love to get behind. People instinctively understand why books matter – and being able to provide books where they are needed most is a huge motivator. By fundraising with us, volunteering with us and sponsoring our events with leading authors, your colleagues will feel able to make a tangible, specific impact on people’s lives.

We bring you closer to customers

Throughout our partnership, we keep you fully informed about the difference you’re making – with compelling stories and reports that detail the impact of your support and the lives you’re helping to change. By sharing these examples of the power of books, you can build customer loyalty and drive engagement with your business.
