Every unit of Flippy sold helps support FirstBook.org. The thing that tablet computers, eReaders, books and magazines all have in common is literacy. Please read on to learn more about this amazing organization and you'll see why we have partnered with them.
Flip It Forward
First Book believes that education is the way out of poverty for children in need. We aim to provide all children equal access to a quality education by making books and other resources available to classrooms and programs serving children in need, from birth to age 18--to remove barriers to quality education for all kids.
First Book transforms the lives of children in need. Through a sustainable, market-driven model, First Book is creating equal access to quality education — making everything from brand-new, high-quality books and educational resources, to sports equipment, winter coats, snacks, and more – affordable to its member network of more than 375,000 educators who exclusively serve kids in need. Since 1992, First Book has distributed more than 175 million books and educational resources to programs and schools serving children from low- income families in more than 30 countries. First Book currently reaches an average of 5 million children every year and supports more than one in four of the estimated 1.3 million classrooms and programs serving children in need. With an additional 1,000 educators joining each week, First Book is the largest and fastest-growing network of educators in the United States exclusively serving kids in need.
