We need Diverse Books needs your help to continue and further our mission!

With your donation we will be able to:

Diversify our classrooms

WNDB in the Classroom is an initiative that brings diverse books and diverse authors into schools across the country.

Support diverse authors

Through our Walter Dean Myers Award & Grant program, we recognize outstanding diverse contributions by authors in Young Adult and Middle Grade literature, and provide funds to help develop new diverse authors and artists.

Promote diverse programming

WNDB continues to have a presence at conferences and festivals across the country, aiming to foster positive, honest, and constructive discussions on diversity.

Develop educational kits

In conjunction with School Library Journal and the American Booksellers Association, WNDB has created educational kits to introduce teachers, librarians and booksellers to select diverse books.

Are there other ways to support WNDB?

Yes! When you are shopping on Amazon, eBay, and other e-vendor sites, you can direct some of your purchase to WNDB!

  • Amazon Smile allows you to direct 0.5% of your purchase price to the nonprofit of your choice, at no extra cost to you. The first time you visit Amazon’s homepage via smile.amazon.com, you can log into your regular Amazon account and search for We Need Diverse Books when prompted to choose your charity. Then, as long as you always begin your shopping at smile.amazon.com, whatever you buy helps WNDB move closer to its goals.
  • Sellers and shoppers on eBay can choose to donate percentages at the time of purchase. Visit our charity page here to get started. Add WNDB to your list of favorite charities, and you will be prompted to donate (always with the option not to) whenever you are shopping on eBay.
  • iGive is a website that functions as a portal to many of the e-commerce sites you’re likely already shopping on. Once you have an account, you can install a browser button and then choose WNDB as your charity of choice. iGive will direct some of your purchase price to our organization at no extra cost for you.
