At Underdog Bookstore, our mission is to amplify underrepresented voices and provide inclusive events where our community can unite to explore, connect, and celebrate the power of literacy and learning. 

We believe literature can unlock dialogue, understanding, and empathy, and every individual deserves a welcoming and inclusive space to feel valued and represented. In addition to offering a curated selection of diverse books, we proudly feature gifts crafted by local vendors, supporting the creative spirit of our community.

Through our events and programs we are committed to serving marginalized groups and individuals of all ages and backgrounds. Whether you are an existing book lover, a new reader, or an early learner, we hope to share the valuable gift of not just a new book, but one that speaks to a part of your identity. 

By championing diversity and inclusivity in all our work as a nonprofit, we aspire to build a stronger, more connected community of underdogs, and your generosity will help make that work possible. 

Your donations will support the following: 

• Maintaining our physical space and inventory 

• Book gifting programs (in-store & pop-ups) 

• Free/low-cost tutoring services 

• Story-time, book readings, and author panels

• Community events and workshops
