Books4Cause.com is a civic and social organization based in Skokie, Illinois, that conducts book drives and donation campaigns to raise funds and support initiatives locally, nationally, and internationally. Since starting in early 2006, the group has salvaged tens of thousands of books destined for landfills and has raised funds for non-profit partners through reprocessing donated titles, including selling those with resale value and directing a portion of books to Africa. A key partner is Human Service Resources, Inc. (HSRI), which helps distribute books to classrooms and libraries in Africa through the Good Books for Africa program, with HSRI having delivered hundreds of thousands of books to the region. Books4Cause also organizes individualized drives to assist additional local organizations and student groups, and materials not suitable for reprocessing are pulped and recycled. The organization operates within the nonprofit and charitable sector, focusing on expanding its impact to support additional causes while maintaining its emphasis on reuse and donation.
