Deadline: March 15, 2026
The Coretta Scott King Book Awards Donation Grant from the American Library Association provides donated collections of Coretta Scott King Award-winning and honor books to organizations serving children and youth.
The grant supports libraries, schools, and community organizations that need high-quality, culturally relevant books by African American authors and illustrators. These titles celebrate Black voices and experiences while supporting literacy, representation, and engagement for young readers.
Grants are awarded based on demonstrated need and thoughtful plans for making the books accessible. Applicants are asked to describe: the need in their community, how the books will be used and shared, and the impact on children and youth served.
Any agency or institution that serves children or youth can apply for this award. This includes, but is not limited to schools, libraries, preschool programs, social service agencies, community organizations, prisons or detention centers, churches or other religious organizations, homeless shelters, and institutions of higher education. This is a strong opportunity for organizations looking to build inclusive collections, support equity in reading materials, and expand access to award-winning children’s and YA literature.
