At Written Word Media we believe in doing our part.

Book Harvest

At Written Word Media we believe that reading is a fundamental human right. That’s why we chose to partner with Book Harvest. 61% of America’s low-income children are growing up in homes without any books. Book Harvest’s mission is to dramatically alter that statistic to the positive. Their goal is to provide home libraries to every low-income child in Durham and beyond, and to demonstrate the benefits that accrue when children in poverty grow up with a wealth of books at home.

In its first four years, Book Harvest placed more than 265,000 donated books in the hands and homes of low-income children in the Triangle; an average of more than a thousand books a week. Written Word Media provides ongoing financial and in-kind support to Book Harvest.

Sustainability

As a small business, we feel it’s important to do our part to combat climate change. We may be small, but if enough small businesses take action, that will add up to real impact. Written Word Media has partnered with Green Places to go carbon neutral. Through this partnership, Green Places calculates our annual carbon footprint and proactively offsets our carbon footprint by investing in green projects for a sustainable future. 

In addition to our partnership with Green Places, Written Word Media has also joined a growing community of Stripe users committed to carbon removal and scaling technologies to combat climate change. The partnership with Stripe Climate we contribute a portion of every transaction on our site to carbon removal. This provides a meaningful way for our customers to participate in our efforts and propels us from being carbon neutral to being carbon negative as a company.
