Fondation Hachette pour la Lecture

About Fondation Hachette pour la Lecture

Fondation Hachette pour la Lecture supports organizations that use books, reading, writing, and the French language to promote education, inclusion, and personal empowerment among young people and other people distant from reading. Its grants tend to back practical, field-based programs such as reading mentoring, literacy support, school engagement, libraries and book access, especially for underserved youth, students at risk of disengagement, and French-speaking communities outside mainland France. The foundation also appears to value projects that use reading as a lever for social inclusion in hospitals, prisons, rural areas, and disability-access contexts.
