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.

Bringing authors, illustrators, and their books to Washington, DC area students in low-income settings to spark a love of reading.

Governance Explanations

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11B

“The accountant prepares the return. It is reviewed by key members of the Board and changes are made if necessary. It is ultimately presented to the Board of Directors.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12C

“An Open Book Foundation requires that each board officer and director disclose all contemplated or existing related party transactions known to, and involving, such director or officer of staff member. In addition, each board officer and director must annually sign a statement confirming that such disclosures have been made. All related party transactions shall be reviewed by independent directors. In reviewing such transactions, the board may request that the interested party state his or her views on the appropriateness of the transaction. The interested party then has to leave the meeting while the independent directors determine whether the transaction is fair and reasonable and is in the best interest of An Open Book Foundation.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15

“A compensation consultant was engaged to help the Board determine the appropriate salaries for comparable positions.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19

IRS990/Desc0An Open Book Foundation brings authors, illustrators and their books to students in qualifying schools in the Washington, DC area. Our vision is that children see themselves as readers who can express themselves in the written and visual arts. Every student attending an author event gets a copy of the book to add to their home library. School and classroom libraries receive a set of the author's titles. During presentations, authors interact with classes; while signing their books, they engage in one-on-one conversations. This personal connection encourages students to read, write and create more. It is critical that all children discover characters, storylines and creators who share their life experiences and cultures. Meeting professional book creators can introduce students to a future career path they may not have otherwise considered. Furthermore, book circulation in school libraries increases, home libraries are built and children's enthusiasm grows. AOB's staff includes former librarians, teachers and booksellers who identify the best authors and books for the students we serve. Our extensive knowledge of books, authors, curricula and the school populations we serve allows us to thoughtfully tailor each event to create the most valuable experience for everyone involved. In the 2018-19 school year, AOB served over 10,000 students in 272 author and illustrator presentations and added more than 12,500 books to school, classroom and home libraries.

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.
