School Book Fund
The BBC, through its Conservation and Education Committee, donates funds to schools and educational programs for the purchase of books or other educational materials used to teach K-12 students about birds, nature, and natural science.
To donate to the School Book Fund, you can designate an amount on the “BBC School Book Fund” line on the back page of the Blue Book club bulletin when you renew your membership. At any time, you can donate online by clicking “join” at the top of the BBC home page and designating an amount under “optional donation to BBC School Book Fund”.
For any inquiries or applications to the Book Fund, please email Dave Williams.
How To Apply
The BBC School Book Fund will donate up to $750 for books, optical equipment, or other educational materials used to support bird and nature study in pre-K through grade 12 schools or educational programs anywhere in Massachusetts.
To apply for a donation, an educator should send an itemized list of the desired books/materials, with approximate cost, and an explanation–no more than a page–of how the books/materials will be used in a class or program of bird and nature study.
If the application is approved, the applicant will purchase the materials and then submit the receipts to the Book Fund Chairperson.
The club asks that donation recipients agree to put BBC book plates in the books and, if possible, provide photos at some point so that the BBC can publicize the donation.
