The Children’s Book Project gives books to children who need them for equity in literacy, learning, and life.

Children’s Book Project is one of San Francisco’s oldest and most prolific organizations promoting literacy equity by ensuring access to books for children who need them. Our innovative model is designed to redistribute book assets so children living and going to school in under-resourced communities have books of their own and develop a love of reading—ultimately paving the way for lifelong learning and improved literacy in our city and region.

Children’s Book Project takes a cradle-to-graduation approach by providing books at every reading level, from infant board books to teen/young adult titles. In 2022, our women-led nonprofit received and processed nearly 155,000 new and gently used books donated by individuals, families, businesses, publishers, authors, and book drives; close to 140,000 books found their way into classrooms, doctors’ offices, shelters, daycares, and most importantly, homes with children and families who need and want them. Since our founding 31 years ago, we have surpassed 3.1 million books distributed to educators and nonprofit service providers across San Francisco and 24 additional California counties.

Please help us make literacy a priority in California! Thank you for your support of the Children's Book Project!

EJI is committed to ending mass incarceration in the US and challenging racial and economic injustice.

Founded in 1989 by Bryan Stevenson, a widely acclaimed public interest lawyer and bestselling author of Just Mercy, EJI is a private, 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that provides legal representation to people who have been illegally convicted, unfairly sentenced, or abused in state jails and prisons. We challenge the death penalty and excessive punishment and we provide re-entry assistance to formerly incarcerated people.

EJI works with communities that have been marginalized by poverty and discouraged by unequal treatment. We are committed to changing the narrative about race in America. EJI produces groundbreaking reports, an award-winning wall calendar, and short films that explore our nation’s history of racial injustice, and we recently launched an ambitious national effort to create new spaces, markers, and memorials that address the legacy of slavery, lynching, and racial segregation, which shapes many issues today.

EJI provides research and recommendations to assist advocates and policymakers in the critically important work of criminal justice reform. We publish reports, discussion guides, and other educational materials, and our staff conduct educational tours and presentations for thousands of students, teachers, faith leaders, professional associations, community groups, and international visitors every year.

Delivering unconditional cash directly to the world's poorest households via secure mobile transfers. 

Since 2009, GiveDirectly has delivered more than $580 million in unconditional cash transfers to families in need. These one-time cash transfers allow recipients to invest in what they need most and have been shown to improve their earnings, children’s school attendance, health, nutrition, and mental well-being.
 
GiveDirectly uses government data to target villages where most or all residents are living in extreme poverty, defined by the World Bank as earning under $2.15/day. In-country GiveDirectly staff enroll one member of each household in the entire village to receive a one-time transfer of about $1,000 USD sent in two installments using mobile money. Recipients can then withdraw the mobile funds as cash with local agents and use the funds to invest in what they need – whether it’s on starting a business, education, making their home safer/sturdier, healthcare, or livestock.
 
GiveDirectly uses rigorous experimental research (randomized controlled trials) to measure the impact of their unconditional cash programs and answer public policy questions, generating evidence on key design and implementation questions across varied contexts. You can find over 300 studies on the positive impacts of cash transfers in GiveDirectly’s Cash Research Explorer.

I believe in gratitude+action and that together we can build a better world. Have the best job as Cofounder at Every.org :)

Ex-cofounder and Head of Engineering at Every.org. I work so others can receive the level of support I've personally benefited from.

The books I read as a child opened my imagination and brought so much joy - no child should be denied that.

When my children were little, we would go to the library and borrowed  50 children's books at a time. We read, acted out loud, and giggles together every night.  I couldn't imagine Children's lives without Books.  They are magical and do wonder for the imagination.  

Wonderful educational presentations and classes to support patients, survivors and their family members💗

Free access to information is important for the maintenance of liberty

The internet is my second home. It's good to know people fighting for its independence are out there. I want to help them. 👍

As COVID showed us, healthcare cannot only be a local issue. VillageReach does an amazing job of bringing high quality healthcare into hard-to-reach places.

In support of relief efforts for the devastation wrought by the wildfires on Maui.

Thanks Rahul and sibs for putting up Juneteeth matching!

Easy and affordable access to reproductive health care shouldn't even be a question.

Giving together is so much better than giving alone!

Thought-provoking and inspiring workshop on communal giving, thank you Philanthropy Together!

I've been really impressed by GiveDirectly's pioneering and research-driven approach to using direct cash transfers to help people climb out of poverty. They've helped show that just giving money to people so they can make their own decisions about what they need is not only empowering but also one of the most potent forms of aid. Thank you, GiveDirectly!
