Quick answer
Donating a copy of America's History to schools through The Tuttle Twins is a straightforward way to put a complete, engaging U.S. history book into classrooms—and your tax-deductible contribution helps fund future educational materials.
Why donate to schools instead of buying for yourself?
When you donate a copy of America's History directly to a school or library, you ensure that students who might not otherwise have access to this resource can read it. The Tuttle Twins education program, run by the non-profit Libertas Institute, focuses on getting these books into as many educational settings as possible. Your donation accelerates that mission.
A classroom copy can reach dozens of students each year, making it a high-impact gift. If you're a parent, teacher, or community member who wants to support civic education, this option gives you a tangible way to contribute.
What your donation actually funds
The Tuttle Twins education program is a philanthropic effort of Libertas Institute, a 501(c)(3) non-profit. Your tax-deductible donation doesn't just buy one book—it helps the publisher create and distribute more educational material, market the books to schools, and place them in libraries and homes nationwide.
Because the program is donor-supported, every contribution goes directly toward expanding the reach of these resources. You're not just giving a book; you're helping build a library of materials that can be used for years.
What you won't know until you donate
The donation page lets you choose an amount, but the exact process for designating a specific school or library isn't detailed online. If you have a particular school in mind, you may need to contact the program directly to coordinate. The catalog price of $71 (with a comparison price of $100) suggests the standard donation amount, but you can give more or less.
Also, keep in mind that the book is a physical copy—there's no mention of a digital version for classroom use. If your school prefers digital resources, this might be a limitation.
How to decide if donating is right for you
- You want to support classroom history education: Donating a copy of America's History puts a complete, engaging U.S. history book into a school or library where students can access it. It's a direct way to support civic literacy.
- You value tax-deductible giving: Because Libertas Institute is a 501(c)(3) non-profit, your donation is tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law. Keep your receipt for tax purposes.
- You want to help fund future materials: Your donation doesn't just buy one book—it helps the publisher create and market more educational content for schools and homes nationwide.
- You need to designate a specific school: The online donation process may not let you specify a particular school. If you have a target school in mind, contact the program directly to arrange it. Contact the program before donating if you need a specific school.
- You prefer digital classroom resources: The donation provides a physical book. If your school requires digital-only materials, this may not be the best fit. Consider a different format if digital is essential.
