“Connecting underserved children with books to promote literacy and foster lifelong learning.”

The Adrienne Vaughan Foundation mission.

What We Do

Inspired by Adrienne Vaughan’s advocacy for reading and literacy, we are committed to providing books to students in at-need areas of the United States in order to increase their access to books and allow them to pursue reading for pleasure both inside and outside of school.

We aim to get books into the hands of young readers who lack access by partnering with publishing companies and professionals who worked with and knew Adrienne throughout her career in publishing. We believe that bridging the resource gap is essential in order to ensure every child has the educational tools necessary for growth.
