For every $6 donated, the Cincinnati-based Fund gives a book to a child in need. The organization’s aim is to provide every student in partner Title I schools with 10 books each year.

The Scripps Howard Fund will match the first $175,000 donated to its “If You Give a Child a Book …” childhood literacy campaign on Wednesday in celebration of National Literacy Month.
The focus of the monthlong fundraiser is to provide free books to underserved and vulnerable children in kindergarten through third grade who are still learning to read.
