The Fablefern Educators Fund
Education is the foundation of a strong society. It allows us to understand the world around us. It creates opportunities within communities. And at its core, it allows individuals to dream, empathize, and grow.
At Fablefern, we have deep respect for educators and the dedication they have to creating safe and imaginative spaces for kids to learn. Today it can be a thankless commitment to work as an educator. Classes are overcrowded, resources are limited, and the expectation to do more with less is absolutely draining. Not to mention, the financial burden that teachers often taken on to ensure that their classrooms are well stocked with supplies.
In an effort to get more books in the hands of more students and to truly live our value of imagination, we have created the Fablefern Educators Fund - a program that we hope will provide a little joy and much needed appreciation for the teachers that are shaping our future community leaders.
How It Works
Ready to clear out your bookshelf? We'll take your old books in exchange for store credit, and give that credit to teachers to shop on our website.
When books are received, we assess them for store credit as we do with our regular store credit program. Instead of receiving the credit yourself, it will be added to the Fablefern Educators Fund account and for every credit added by you, Fablefern Bookshop will match it to make double the impact!
As store credit becomes available, we will contact educators that register for the program to provide store credit to purchase books for their classrooms.

Teachers of all ages and grades can register however, you must be affiliated with an educational institution (public schools, private schools, universities, and colleges) to qualify.
