The 2012 Top-Rated Nonprofit List was based on the large number of positive reviews that Books For Africa received – reviews written by volunteers, donors and clients. People like Agnes Igoye posted their personal experiences with BFA. Agnes, a container captain sending books to Uganda, wrote, “What struck me most [about BFA] was the Passion and dedicated efforts of the staff and Board members towards their work-Ending the Book Famine in Africa!”

Thanks to a very generous donation from BFA Board member and founder of Amara Wines, Bob Marx, you can bid to send a full container of books to a recipient in the African country of your choice. This is a onetime only silent auction hosted by BFA. The highest bidder will be able to send a full sea container of 22,000 books to a recipient in the African country of his or her choice. The starting minimum bid is $2,500. Interested parties may place their bid by emailing maggie@booksforafrica.org. Highest bid will be updated here several times weekly.
