At Homeschool Curriculum Free for Shipping, we believe in the power of generosity and community. This group was founded on a pay it forward model—sharing homeschool curriculum freely, with recipients only covering shipping and handling costs.
If you’ve received free books or materials through our network, we kindly ask that you keep the giving going. Once your family is done with an item, please pass it along to another homeschooling family in need or return it to the organization. These items should never be resold for profit or left sitting unused on a shelf.
Suggested Message to Include in Donated Books
To help continue the cycle of giving, we recommend writing this message inside the front cover of each donated book:
“This book was donated to Homeschool Curriculum Free for Shipping. When finished, please pass it on to another homeschool family who needs it. Do not sell it for profit.”
This small gesture helps protect the mission of our homeschool curriculum pay it forward community and reminds others of the purpose behind the gift.
Downloadable Book Label
Deanna K., one of our management team members, created a printable label you can use if you prefer a neat, professional look.

Suggested PayPal Message
When requesting shipping reimbursement through PayPal, you have the option to include a note to your recipient. Here’s some suggested wording to help reinforce the pay it forward model:
For Multiple Books:
These books were donated to Homeschool Curriculum Free for Shipping. This money request is only for shipping and handling. By paying, you agree NOT to resell these books for profit. Please pass them on to another family in need when you’re done.
For a Single Book:
This book was donated to Homeschool Curriculum Free for Shipping. This money request is only for shipping and handling. By paying, you agree NOT to resell this book for profit. Please pass it on to another family in need when you’re done.
Why It Matters
The homeschool curriculum pay it forward system relies on honesty, integrity, and a heart for helping others. Every book passed on, every resource reused, and every kind message shared helps ensure that no family goes without the materials they need to educate their children.
Thank you for being a part of this generous community!
