You have a chance to make a real impact.  

We believe that every young person should have the chance to love reading. We’re asking you to help us raise money to fund our book distribution for 2025. Our goal is to start off the year with plenty of resources so we can continue providing stories to kids. So far, we’ve distributed over 4.4 million culturally relevant books to kids all over the country, and we aren’t done yet.

We’ve seen the magic created when we all work together, and it’s up to us to create a better future for our kids. Our staff, the schools and community organizations that we work with, and our corporate partners will continue to create possibility.

Brian, Educator in Saint Paul, Minnesota

“Something tangible like a book or seeing volunteers show up is a big deal to kids. When people from the outside, like Heart of America, come in and offer to help, the kids take notice. They know that someone is investing in them. That matters.” 

Martine, Volunteer in Saint Paul, Minnesota

“I’m really impressed with Heart of America. I don’t know why we can’t fund schools with the money they need to thrive, which makes your work so important. What you do is very cool.”
