The Book Exchange of Marin is an all-volunteer organization focused on raising the literacy levels of Marin's most under-resourced elementary and middle school students. Each year, we bring students to our library facility in Terra Linda, where, working with our volunteers, they can select up to 10 free books to take home and keep. We have very strong relationships with Title I schools in Marin County and work closely with administrators and teachers to ensure we offer a selection of books of the greatest interest to students. Our program has been proven highly effective in raising the literacy levels of students who are reading below, and sometimes well below, their grade level, which is highly detrimental to their educational development.
Under the direction of our Board President, Bruce Burtch, we are seeking a volunteer to research and approach foundations, companies, service clubs, and individuals to fund our programming. Mr. Burtch is a nationally respected marketing and fundraising executive. This would be a virtual position, working closely with Mr. Burtch and the Book Exchange's volunteer staff. Currently, we have a robust funding program and a comprehensive list of potential funders. Our annual operational budget is approximately $100,00. We have met and exceeded our 2025-26 fundraising goals. The primary purpose of this position is to continue this successful fundraising program and significantly expand it to build a financially sound endowment for the organization.
