Since 2004, we have been dedicated to putting books in the hands of children in high-needs communities across Canada. With the support of Indigo and its customers, we have committed over $35 million to over 3,500 schools, impacting more than 1 million children.
The Indigo Love of Reading Foundation exists to ensure that all Canadian kids have access to books and the opportunity to fall in love with reading. The Literacy Fund Grant is our largest national granting program, and was created to dramatically increase literacy access for kids across the country.
Adopt a School is a fundraising campaign and grant program designed in partnership with Indigo, Coles, Chapters, and Indigospirit stores to raise funds for literacy in schools across Canada. What makes this program so unique is that 100% of the funds raised by each store location goes directly to their partner school for the purchase of new books and literacy materials for their school and classroom libraries.
To be eligible for consideration for the Adopt a School Grant, school applicants must:
- Receive at least 80% of their funding from the provincial or federal government
- Demonstrate financial need
- Serve elementary age students in grades K-8
- Exhibit a strong commitment to literacy!
APPLICATIONS FOR THE 2025 ADOPT A SCHOOL PROGRAM WILL BE AVAILABLE IN FEBRUARY 2025.
