Pick Your Hero, Fund Their Mission
ComicBooks For Kids!, ComicBooks for Troops, and ComicBooks for Schools each have their own mission — pick the one that speaks to you, choose one-time or monthly, and every dollar goes straight to that cause. No mixing, no guessing — just you and your favorite branch, teaming up.
Ways to help
ComicBooks For Kids, troops, and schools!
However you choose to help, it supports all three of our programs: kids in hospitals, service members, and students in classrooms. Here are some of the most valuable ways people help us grow!
Connect us with the right products.
Work at a company that makes toys, plush, coloring books, or other fun items? Let's talk about a partnership.
Bring business skills to the table.
Fundraising, accounting, and grant writing experience are all things we could genuinely use — reach out if that's you.
Talk to your local comic shop or bookseller.
If they're open to donating or partnering, have them contact us and we'll get them plugged in.
Point us toward someone we’re missing.
Know a hospital, military unit, veterans’ organization, school, teacher, librarian, or program that could use our help? Tell them about us, or send us their info and we’ll reach out.
Help with outreach.
We want to reach more hospitals, units, partner groups, and classrooms. If you’re up for making the connections, we’ll walk you through the process.
Start or support a fundraiser.
Sponsor a box, run a Facebook Birthday fundraiser, or organize something of your own — every dollar helps, and there's no wrong way to do it.
Suggest a new partner company.
Have an idea for a company or organization we should team up with? We’ll give you the messaging to make the ask.
Simply tell people about us.
As an all-volunteer organization, our growth depends almost entirely on word of mouth.
Give what you can, when you can.
Boxes, packing tape, and shipping are our biggest ongoing expenses — even a small donation helps keep boxes moving.
You Don't Need a Cape. You Just Need to Care.
Behind every box of comics shipped to a child in a hospital, there's a community of people who made it happen. Donors. Publishers. Sponsors. Volunteers. Comic shops. Everyday people who decided to do something.
Whatever your role — there's a place for you here. Find yours below.
Donors
Give Comics.
Give Cash.
Give a Kid a Story.

Make a one-time or recurring cash donation

Before donating comics, please review our donation guidelines and FAQ — they help make sure every book can reach a child safely.

CB4K already works with some of the biggest names in the industry — DC, Marvel, IDW, Dark Horse, Scholastic, Archie, BOOM! Studios, Image, Valiant, Kodansha, VIZ, Tokyopop, Zenescope, Titan, Oni Press, and more. If you publish comics, there's a place for you in this mission.
