About the foundation
The Indigo Love of Reading Foundation, established in 2004 by Indigo Books & Music, operates on the belief that access to books transforms lives. Its Literacy Fund Grant supports high-needs elementary schools in Canada by providing funding to build and refresh school library collections, aiming to foster a lifelong love of reading. The foundation's ethos is rooted in community partnership and educational equity, directing resources to schools where library budgets are insufficient to meet students' needs.

Applicants should first verify their school's eligibility, particularly its designation as high-needs and its location in Canada. The application requires a clear articulation of how the grant will address specific literacy challenges and enhance student engagement with reading. It is advisable to involve school librarians and administrators in crafting a detailed plan for book selection and programming. Deadlines are typically annual; consult the foundation's website for current cycles and required documentation.
