Binc News

The Book Industry Charity Foundation (Binc) has launched the Survive to Thrive bookstore grant program. Founded with initial support from Ingram Charities and Ingram Content Group, the program will quickly provide grants to independent bookstores and comic shops affected by COVID-19.

With the book and comics industry, we stand with the Asian American Pacific Islander members of our communities – bookstore and comic shop owners, staff and families, creators and authors, readers and fans – to condemn hate. We mourn the lives taken. We stand against racism, xenophobia, and discrimination in all its forms.

Binc is being honored with the Los Angeles Times Book Prizes Innovator’s Award.

Applications will be accepted March 3rd through April 15th, 2021 for the Binc Foundation’s annual higher education scholarship program.

Update: Don’t leave money on the table! Give Comics Hope Application Period Extended through Sunday, March 21. Apply now. Simple, five-minute application. All eligible applicants will receive an equal share of the total funds raised. Open to U.S. and Canadian stores.
