In Memory of Ann Lohry-Smith
Our mission: To ensure members of our community have unhindered access to books with characters and subjects that reflect the diversity and complexity of the world around them.
Annie’s Foundation is proud to be a certified 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.
Donate today to help us provide copies of banned and challenged books to your community!
Make your tax-deductible donation here.
We have a Book Wish List!
Don’t want to make a monetary donation? Consider donating a book instead!
We’ve partnered with Storyhouse Bookpub, a local, woman-owned bookstore, to offer a Wish List. You can purchase a book from their website on Bookshop.org and the books will be shipped directly to Annie’s Foundation! Your purchase gets banned and challenged books in the hands of your community while also supporting a small, locally-owned business.
