Donation Program
Radius Books donates over 300 copies of every book we publish to underfunded libraries, schools, arts organizations, and community centers in all 50 states. The Donation Program was conceived and initiated as a means to bring diverse artistic visions and voices into the hands of as many people as possible, particularly students and young adults.
Since its founding in 2007, Radius has donated over 75,000 books nationwide.
We are always looking for new recipient organizations. If you know of a library, school, arts organization, or community center that would benefit from this program, please provide a short description of the organization and email it to us at info@radiusbooks.org.
To support the Donation Program as an underwriter or to volunteer at an upcoming Donation Day, please email us at info@radiusbooks.org. Our Spring 2024 Donation Day is scheduled for May 11, 2024.

“Thank you for the generous donation of art books. Our community is home to many people with an interest in art; it is also a community where many residents have not experienced the pleasure of visiting art museums.”
