Turn Gold into Books

Gold Minds is a new program that encourages the recycling of old gold jewelry to support Junior Great Books groups in schools and libraries. greenKarat.com, a company that creates ecologically responsible jewelry, has generously agreed to accept donations of unwanted jewelry that will be used in making new rings. They will send 80% of the market value of the gold directly to the Gold Minds Fund at the Great Books Foundation.

To donate gold for the Gold Minds Fund or to learn more about Gold Minds, visit the Gold Minds website.

Gold Minds grants up to $1000 pay for Great Books student and teacher books and materials and for leader training. Only new non-curricular Junior Great Books groups are eligible. As funds are available, grants will be awarded to qualifying schools with applications on file.
