FAQ’s.
Will I be able to choose which community my donation will go towards supporting?
We are unable to allocate funds to specific communities. Not all communities have the means to support a project such as this one. We want every community that would like to have a bookshelf to be able to get one, and we would not be able to do it without the generosity of our donors.
If you would like to personally purchase a shelf for your child’s school, we recommend speaking with your principal, and asking them to send an email to info@theblackbookshelfproject.ca . There is a commitment to an ongoing annual subscription if schools would like to have more books added to their bookshelves throughout the year. We wish to speak with school staff directly to ensure that we are able to clearly explain how TBBP is structured, and what the potential commitments are, before a school agrees to accept one! When it comes time for payment, if your school is still interested in a bookshelf after speaking with us, they can send your contact information our way and we can take it from there!
How do I get on the waitlist for TBBP?
Head over to our Waitlist page and take a look at the process map to decide what your organization’s course of action should be! Complete the waitlist form, the link for which can be found above.
How long will my items take to ship?
All orders will ship out in 2-3 weeks from the time of purchase. We know, it's a bit of a wait. Your orders are being packaged and shipped by the same mamas who are spending time with their children and figuring out the ins and outs of starting up an NPO. We want to make sure that all of focus and attention goes into each and every item that we send your way. The kind of focus and attention you each deserve can only be given when our partners are at home, or our babies are in bed!
