Need Continues to Outpace Budget as Binc Wraps Up Year-End Campaign with Opportunity for Donors to Double Their Gift
The Book Industry Charitable (Binc) Foundation needs to raise more than $50,000 before Dec. 31, 2023, to ensure it can continue its commitment to never turn anyone in need away. The number of book and comic people requesting help this year has far surpassed the total number of financial assistance grants in all of 2022, and Binc board members have rallied to provide the funds to match the next $8,600 in gifts dollar for dollar, doubling the power and impact of donations received.
To date, Binc has provided 338 emergency relief grants to book and comic sellers and their families compared to 295 in 2022. This is a 15% increase over last year and includes requests for mental health and wellness support.
In addition, Binc supporters will get an audiobook of their choice from Libro.fm. Give $100 and get one audiobook credit; give $500+ and get three audiobook credits. This offer is available until Dec. 31, 2023.
