Mission and programs · 2022

Mission

The mission of San Francisco-based Childrens Book Project (CBP) is to promote literacy by providing books to children who need them for equity in literacy, learning, and life, as well as to provide literacy training and resources to organizations serving families in economically vulnerable neighborhoods in our city and Bay Area region. CBP books are given to children and their families to keep via the educators and organizations that serve them, and are always free, always for keeps. Our work is based on the knowledge that children who grow up with books have better academic outcomes than their peers who dont, and that reading aloud to children from birth benefits critical brain development early on. Many children have few or no books of their own and attend schools and programs in which high quality books are in short supply, thus encouraging reading is not enough when families do not have equal access to books. To address the inequity of access, CBP supplies books, service partner tr

  • Since our founding in 1992, we have distributed more than 3 million books, with over half going to Title 1 schools. In 2022 alone, the Childrens Book Project (CBP) processed 154,878 books donated to us, and via our Book Bank program, distributed 138,325 free books to children and their families living in low-income neighborhoods, as well as schools, shelters, child care and child advocacy organizations that serve under-resourced communities in San Francisco and the Bay Area. CBP also hosts educators and nonprofit service partners for our bi-monthly, early literacy Read Aloud program, and we fund the purchase of new multilingual books and books with broader themes, characters, cultural and racial representation for these partner organizations to share with their families. We offer a Teen Ambassador program, providing training to high school youth to go back into their communities to promote literacy, and a Second Reading program that delivers gently-used books directly to spots where families live, work and gather and where there is little access to books. In 2023, we will launch the Storytime program, CBPs first foray into direct-to-child/family services.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
