Saint Mary's Press® Bible Grant Program is made available by Saint Mary's Press based on a percentage of annual sales and from a grant of the Lasallian Education Fund of the Christian Brothers of the Midwest Province. The purpose of the program is to provide copies of The Catholic Youth Bible®, Breakthrough! The Bible for Young Catholics (Winona, MN: Saint Mary's Press), Saint Mary's Press® College Study Bible (Winona, MN: Saint Mary's Press), and La Biblia Católica para Jóvenes (distributed by Saint Mary's Press) to inner-city and rural poor high schools or youth-serving ministries and to youth in detention centers throughout the United States. Priority will be given to requests that best meet the following criteria:

Copies of the Bibles will be given directly to youth for their personal use.
Requests are from schools, institutions, or ministries serving Catholic youth in detention or in the highest poverty rate areas of the country. For the purpose of this program, we will use the mostcurrent HHS Poverty Guidelines and State Poverty Rate standards of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (see http://aspe.hhs.gov/poverty/04poverty.shtml).
The youth receiving or benefiting from The Catholic Youth Bible® Grant Program are from households at or below the average poverty measure.
The youth receiving or benefiting from The Catholic Youth Bible® Grant Program are incarcerated teens in detention centers.
