Cookbook Fundraiser: How to Successfully Raise Funds with Delicious Recipes

[winklermom]

I'm considering offering a cookbook fundraiser to a couple of organizations but before I move any further along with the idea, I thought I would see if anyone has ever done anything like this and, if so, how did it work?

I had thought to offer the cookbooks for a flat price that will include shipping and handling. I won't add $4.75 to each book but enough that when they are all put together on each participant's order, that fee will be covered. I was thinking adding possibly $.75 per book and tax, then round that number up to come up with a flat rate.

Does this make sense? Do you think it will work? Has anyone ever tried anything like this before?

Ideas and suggestions are welcomed.

There was a flier going around that I tweaked a little. Sell the small cookbooks for a flat rate of $10 each. Submit it as one order, or a few, to get the free CB w/ every $60 purchase. Saves on shipping. Submit it as a fundraiser so the group gets the 15% (hopefully). Should make the $3 a book after all is said and done. Just thinking off the top of my head right now, so there may be details I am leaving out.

Here is the one I offered this month. It would need to be changed to take the current grilling cookbook off and add the new one and I just had each person add the $4.75 at the end of their order. I also did it with a 5% tax rate because of the location and rounded up from there. The extra money could go straight to the organization or it could be used to buy a prize for the person with the most orders.

I love this. Any chance you would update it with the new grilling cookbook? I tried to do it and it went all weird on me. :-(
