What $1,200 does

Three things at once.

1
A library stocked

Eight boxes of new releases across the school year, straight to their shelves.

2
A team in work

Chosen and packed by retired educators. Sponsoring a box keeps them in meaningful, supported work.

3
A gift that keeps arriving

Books in a school library, opened by learning minds for years to come. Because of you.

From Todd

Why we do this.

The Vipa team at buying day

Vipa exists to keep retired teachers and school library staff doing the thing they're brilliant at. The books are how we do it.

A sponsored box does two jobs at once: a school library grows all year, and the people packing it stay in work that matters.

Fair questions

Asked and answered.

What do I actually have to do?

Click here, fill in the form, and we do the rest.

Is it tax deductible?

Ask your accountant. For a business it's spend with a social enterprise and can count toward social procurement. We're a social enterprise rather than a charity, so an individual shouldn't count on a donation deduction. We send a clean invoice either way.

Can I sponsor more than one school?

Of course. Take your reach to as many young readers as you can.

School libraries matter

School libraries are being squeezed. The numbers aren't subtle.

30%of Australian school libraries had their budget cut last year.
43%say the budget they are left with isn't enough.
25%had library staff cut, and 56% say they are understaffed.

Australian School Library Survey, ALIA and Softlink, 1,049 schools, 2025

Libraries are being asked to do more with less every year. A sponsored box is how a business, or one person who cares, steps in and puts new books back on the shelf.
