Thanks to the Book Industry Charitable (Binc) Foundation board of directors every donation up to a total of $6,000 will be doubled. The foundation needs to raise another $50,000 by the end of the year to ensure every book and comic person gets the help they need.

This year the average financial assistance grant has gone up nearly 12%, or $274, to $2,333. Costs are rising, and the need is too. Every gift, no matter the size, will push Binc closer to its $200,000 year end campaign goal.

In response, the Binc board has pooled its additional donations to create a year-end matching gift challenge in honor of outgoing board member and Writers House literary agent Steven Malk, in recognition of his service and generosity to Binc and to book and comic people across the country. 

The generous thank you for Binc supporters from Libro.fm is also still available. Give $50+ and get one audiobook credit; give $100+ and get two audiobook credits, give $250+ and get three audiobook credits. This offer is available through Dec. 31, 2025.
