Islamic books, printed and given away free
Fund A Book raises the money to print Islamic books and gives every copy away free in the UK. Each campaign is for one book, with a set print run and a set price per copy. Once the run is funded it goes to print, and the copies are handed out at no charge.
How it works
- A book is chosen. One title, a print run, and a cost per copy that does not change once the campaign opens.
- The run is funded. The campaign page shows what has been raised against the target, live. Amounts are net of the card processing fee, so the figure on screen is the figure that prints books.
- It goes to print. The full run is printed once the target is met.
- Every copy is given away. They go out free through masjids and bookstores. Nothing is sold, and a donation is not a pre-order.
Where the money goes
Fund A Book takes no cut. Apart from the compulsory card fee, all of your donation goes to printing.
Fund A Book is a project of Foundations for People, registered charity 1140216, at 3 Paternoster Lane, Bradford, BD7 3DS. You can check that number on the Charity Commission register.
Donations go to a registered charity, and each campaign names the one collecting it.
If you add Gift Aid, that charity claims it in its registered name. That is why the declaration on the donation form names the charity rather than Fund A Book.

Why there are no photographs here
There are no images of people or animals anywhere on this site, and no music in anything we publish. The pages use geometric patterns and the book covers instead.
