Take advantage of this Mass Child grant to promote more reading and less screen time for your students.
Key Facts
Every MTA preK-12 local association can apply
for a voucher to purchase a large quantity of
books for groups of students. The Massachusetts
Child, MTA’s charitable organization, is partnering
with First Book, a national nonprofit providing
high-quality educational materials to financially
disadvantaged students.
First Book will provide vouchers valued at $5 per
student and that can be redeemed online at First
Book marketplace, where thousands of titles are
sold at greatly reduced prices.
This program is meant to celebrate reading, so we ask that locals plan a joyful event for distributing the books. Plan for books to arrive at least up to 14 days after a purchase with voucher is completed.
