The Coretta Scott King Book Awards Committee gratefully acknowledges its on-going corporate sponsors. Each year various publishing houses sponsor students in the host city to attend the Coretta Scott King Book Awards Breakfast. Winning publishers generously provide free copies of that year's award titles to children attending the breakfast.
Four corporations each year provide gifts to the winning authors and illustrators. The Black Caucus of the American Library Association (BCALA) generously donates $1000 cash honorarium to the winning author and Encyclopedia Britannica donates a set of encyclopedias in both print and electronic format. DEMCO, Inc. generously donates $1000 cash honorarium to the winning illustrator and World Book Encyclopedia donates a set of encyclopedias in both print and electronic format.
The Committee also wishes to express its thanks to numerous donors who each year sponsor children from the host city to attend the Coretta Scott King Book Awards Breakfast at the annual conference of ALA.
