This year, our Elaine Wells Books Kids Want to Read program awarded a $75,000 grant for elementary schools and a $15,000 grant for secondary schools in OUSD, representing over a 300% increase from the previous year.

Foundation, the Quest Foundation, and individual donors whose generous support makes this program possible.
