Over the past twenty years, The Library Project has worked with hundreds of corporate partners to improve rural literacy in Asia. Each partnership begins with our organization listening to the corporation’s needs and crafting a CSR program that fits the company’s culture. This is a big reason why 80% of our revenue came from repeat corporate donors.
Our corporate donors range from FedEx (logistics and transportation) to Urban Soup Kitchen (local restaurant chain), showcasing the diversity of our partners. Each of them uniquely approaches CSR. We will assess your company’s size, industry, history, and locations, then work together to create a program that aligns with your budget and expectations.
Strong Programmatic Results
At The Library Project, measuring our impact is incredibly important. It provides data that enables us to improve our programs continually. We also believe it is essential to communicate our successes and challenges to those who support us. To date, we have impacted over a million children by providing access to libraries in their rural primary schools. The beautiful thing about a school library is it lives; it stays just as relevant from day one as it will ten years into the future. Because of this, new children gain access to these spaces annually, and the total impact a library has on a community grows each year.
Training is critical to the long-term success of a library donation. Teachers at rural primary schools and administrators at orphanages all receive training on managing their new library. This training course marks the beginning of a one-year partnership between The Library Project team, ensuring that every library we donate operates at the highest level. Training is a critical part of every library donation.
It is not enough to provide libraries; it is critical to work directly with the children. We take the necessary time to introduce the children to their new library, discuss with them the importance of reading, and explain how each book serves as a window to another world. At the end of each literacy program, the children understand that this new library will be open to them and that they can check books out for overnight reading. Children are always very excited.
Financial Transparency
The Library Project is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization aiming to make every donated dollar count. We take pride in our financial efficiency, donor accountability, and operational transparency. Through our in-depth Annual Reports, the Library Project is an open book. It is essential to us that all donors and volunteers fully understand how The Library Project utilizes their generous financial contributions and how our libraries benefit the children we support. The Library Project consistently strives for 100% transparency.
