What is BookKind?
BookKind is a new online bookshop for people who care about books almost as much as they care about the social,
political and environmental state of the world we live in. The concept is simple. You buy the books you love,
and we donate 10% of the value of your order to a charitable cause that you care about. What’s not to love about that?
BookKind isn’t a charity bookshop – you’ll find over 200,000 of the latest releases in our shop, much like your average online bookshop –
but it is a purpose-led bookshop, where 10% of the value of your purchase will be donated to one of our charity partners.
You could probably buy your books from cheaper places, but we keep our prices aligned with the recommended retail price so that as
much money as possible goes to charity.
Our work
We’re a team of passionate book lovers who want to have a meaningful impact in the world.
As voracious readers ourselves, we know imagination goes hand-in-hand with empathy - which is why we think there’s a place in the world for BookKind.
BookKind is run by independent online bookselling specialists Monwell Limited, who have twice been
shortlisted for Book Retailer of the Year at the British Book Awards.
Our charity partners
Our eight charity partners have been carefully selected as representing issues that we care deeply about. There are many causes that we could have chosen, but these have a particular resonance for us due to either personal experience or current relevance to what we see happening in the world. Read more about each of our charity partners and the incredible work they do on our charities page.
Your impact
At BookKind, we believe that in the face of big world problems it’s the small daily choices that add up to a meaningful life.
That’s why, when you order from us, 10% of the full order price (not just the profit) goes to charity.
When it comes to our merch, we only source from responsible suppliers in ethical supply chains.
The packaging we use is also eco-friendly, and fully recyclable. In short, we try to have a positive impact on the environment and society whenever we can.
Thanks for being BookKind.
