Mission and Program Overview

Mission

An Open Book Foundation was established by children's book sellers Heidi Powell and Dara La Porte in November 2010 with the goal of promoting literacy among low-income children and teens in the greater Washington, DC area. We bring award-winning authors and illustrators into disadvantaged schools and give each child a signed copy of the author's book. We also give books to classrooms and the school library. These talented authors donate their time to provide dynamic, interactive experiences including writing workshops, book readings, literacy-based art projects, and the creation of permanent school murals. After the event, the author personalizes copies of his or her book, usually engaging in a conversation with each student. It is this personal connection to literature that makes AOB's mission unique, and its programs successful at getting children to read.

IRS990/MissionDesc0An Open Book Foundation was established by children's book sellers Heidi Powell and Dara La Porte in November 2010 with the goal of promoting literacy among low-income children and teens in the greater Washington, DC area. We bring award-winning authors and illustrators into disadvantaged schools and give each child a signed copy of the author's book. We also give books to classrooms and the school library. These talented authors donate their time to provide dynamic, interactive experiences including writing workshops, book readings, literacy-based art projects, and the creation of permanent school murals. After the event, the author personalizes copies of his or her book, usually engaging in a conversation with each student. It is this personal connection to literature that makes AOB's mission unique, and its programs successful at getting children to read.
