Over the next 12 months BookExpo America leadership will develop a fund and program to extend it’s giving even further – Welcome to BEA Cares.

The goal of BEA Cares:  To create an arm of BEA that funds not for profit ventures within the bookselling and publishing world whose primary or secondary missions include the protection of free speech, the promotion of literacy for all ages and the development of new readers.

Organizations that BEA has supported in past years include:

• American Booksellers Association Winter Institute
• American Booksellers for Free Expression
• First Book
• Get Caught Reading
• Poets and Writers Magazine
• Small Press Center

BookExpo America is proud to give back to the literary community and the BEA Cares program will only grow those efforts.  BEA welcomes your feedback in this process and please look for news and updates on our growing BEA Cares program over the next 12 months.
