Approximately 75 organizations in communities of varying sizes across the
country will be selected to participate in The Big Read from September 2013
through June 2014. Grants may range from $2500 to $20,000 and include a
dollar for dollar match requirement.

Community organizations participating in The Big Read develop and produce
community-wide reading programs which encourage reading and participation by
diverse audiences. Activities focus on one book or poet from The Big Read
Library.
