Raise money for your non-profit organization, school or hospital
Use your custom published book to raise funds for your organization. Here are some ways to do fundraising surrounding your custom book:
Story Registration Fees:
Charge a small amount as a donation. For every story for your book or web project that is submitted ($10—$20 ea.)
Photo Session Fees:
Charge for each photo session (like a studio photographer would) ($35—$100)
Book Sales:
Charge for the sale of each book (set up pre-order system before you print). ($25 to $50 per book) Extra Prints of photos: If a person wants extra prints or posters of their photo (charge for packages of Prints) $20; $50; $75, etc.
Grant support:
Write a grant to regional foundations to help support your efforts for celebrating a milepost anniversary. $5,000—$10,000
Sell Sponsorships:
Find several sponsors willing to provide you with a $2,500 to $5,000 sponsorship to support the book and be part of history.
At a minimum, through implementing these ideas, you can cover the cost of publishing your book and in many cases, raise extra dollars to support your cause or programming.
