PJ Library out here doing the work.

"#PJLibrary, the #nonprofit that aims to promote #Jewish identity by sending free #books monthly to families with Jewish #children worldwide, launched its $1.2 million #NextLevelBooksFund to expand the quantity and quality of titles on March 13.

Up to 30% of the money will go to the #NextLevelBooksInitiative, earmarked to invest in independent #publishers who have projects on their wish list that are beyond their budget. Publishers will be able to apply twice a year for a subsidy from $5,000 to $20,000 per project.

#AlisaKoyrakh, director of books for PJ Library, said the balance of the $1.2 million is intended to "expand our global #author and #illustrator pipeline, to strengthen our internal capacity to deliver excellence and ensure that we can secure standout in-demand titles for our readers."

"In the midst of a snowstorm in Washington, D.C., shortly after federal layoffs rocked the city, a group of #Jewish families teamed up to dig their neighbors out of the snow. When the job was done, they gathered for a hot chocolate party — funded by the #HaroldGrinspoonFoundation.

The costs of the “it takes a village” snow-shoveling and the hot chocolate party, and thousands of other small Jewish gatherings, were covered by a #PJLibrary program providing subscriber families with $100 #microgrants to cover hosting expenses for small Jewish-themed gatherings. #TheGetTogether microgrant program has seen a steep spike in interest this year, particularly in smaller cities and rural areas, #JessicaMcCormick, PJ Library’s director of family experience, told eJewishPhilanthropy.

Over six months, the Get Together microgrant program has distributed over $1 million in #grants."

@eheisman
I highly recommend signing them up to PJ library.
It is likely your shul can help with that, or your local Jewish federation.
Once you’re signed up, your kid gets a book a month, Jewishly themed, with diverse Jews.

At age 8.5 the program shifts to PJOur way- where your child would get to choose their own book.
#pjlibrary also has pretty fun podcasts and a variety of other sources
