Help Us Win a $250K Grant

Chase is giving away $250K grant to small businesses.We need 250 votes to move on to the next phase where a panel of judges will pick the winners. We need your help!  Please Vote For Us.



Here's why we need your votes!

1. We would like to see every child read not only in English but in any Indian language!
2. We would like to bring you a larger collection of Indian books by partnering with many more publishers.
3. We would like to expand our offerings on Android and Desktops so that no child is excluded.
4. Last but not the least, we would like to make all these at a price that is affordable to you.


A $250,000 grant will not only help us achieve these goals but will help us build a stronger community!

Several thousand children learn Hindi, Tamil, Kannada and many other Indian languages in the US today. StoryTruck helps these children have fun and become better readers by making bilingual storybooks easily available on all devices they are so familiar with. Because a society's culture is rooted in its language, it helps the children learn their culture, establish stronger family ties and create a stronger community.
