Pages for Profits
Simple
Book Fundraising for Schools and Kindergartens
Pages for Profits
is an easy – and healthy – fundraising program.
There are no complicated order forms and no large boxes of chocolates to
sell. The books are delivered to you before
the fundraising drive. And your school or
kindergarten keeps half the profit
on books sold.
How it
works
Pages for Profits
will provide calico bags containing a selection of 10 childrens books for each participating
family at your school or kindergarten. The
bag of books is light (as light as a box of fundraising chocolates). Families are asked to sell as many books as
they can to friends, family and workmates, and return the money and any unsold
books by a certain date. We can provide
extra bags of books if families wish to sell more than their allocated amount.
Each book will
sell for $6. A bag of 10 books is therefore
worth $60. Your school or kindergarten will make a profit of $30 for each bag
sold.
Rewards
Program
For each 100 books
your school or kindergarten sells through your fundraising drive, your school library will receive a $50 voucher
to spend in one of our retail stores.
(This is enough to buy about 7 books.) This is in addition to the $300 in funds you will already have raised selling
these 100 books.
