We Revolutionize Fundraising
How We Revolutionize Fundraising:
1. A Product with Emotional Value: We take an expertly written, high-interest novel (like our YA cheer template, The Flip Side) and fully customize the narrative, setting, and branding to your organization.
-
We replace generic names with your school mascot, team colors, and local landmarks.
-
We integrate your core values and mission statement into the hero's journey.
-
The final book includes a personalized foreword from your coach or director, turning it into an official, collectible piece of your team’s history.
This is a book buyers will treasure for years, making it an easy sell to parents, grandparents, and alumni.
2. Maximize Your Profit, Minimize Your Effort: Our model is designed for a high return with minimal logistical burden on your staff. We offer a true wholesale relationship that secures a generous profit margin for your organization:
-
You Buy at Wholesale: (e.g., $15 per book)
-
You Sell at Retail: (e.g., $35 per book)
-
You Keep the Profit: $15 of every sale!
We handle all the complex steps: editing, custom design, printing, and delivery. Your only job is to sell a product your community already loves.
Why
The Story Fundraiser
We deliver a custom, premium novel tailored to your organization, guaranteeing a $15.00 profit on every $35.00 book sold, with zero inventory risk and absolutely no volunteer labor.
4 Core Benefits
-
The Official Foreword: A powerful endorsement and message from your Head Coach/Owner.
-
The Legacy Section: A permanent "About the Organization" reference guide (rosters, history, mottos).
-
The Custom Narrative: A high-quality novel where the central story, characters, and settings are fully branded to your organization.
-
The 100% Profit Model: You pay a fixed wholesale price and keep every penny of the retail profit.
The Ultimate Value Proposition
Most organizations are trapped in a cycle of low-profit, high-effort fundraising. We offer a proven, high-value alternative that guarantees an industry-leading profit margin with zero inventory risk.
1. The Problem: The Fundraising Trap
You know the routine: low-value products (coupon books, generic goods) that require endless volunteer hours, force parents to manage inventory, and often yield only a 10-20% profit margin.
-
❌ Inventory Risk: Volunteers must handle sorting, storage, and distribution.
-
❌ Volunteer Burnout: Managers spend countless hours tracking orders and making endless trips to the post office.
-
❌ Low Value: Supporters pay for a product they don't truly need, leading to low conversion rates.
2. The Solution: Three Pillars of Profit
The Story Fundraiser is built on a new Print-on-Demand (POD) model that focuses on high-value, high-profit, and zero-labor.
Pillar 1: Financial Revolution (Industry-Leading Profit)
You don't just get a better margin; you get the best. Our transparent pricing model guarantees maximum return on every single sale, delivering nearly 50% profit on every unit sold.
Pillar 2: Zero Effort, Guaranteed
We handle everything from the moment you approve the design. Our fulfillment process requires zero labor from your coaches, parents, or staff.
-
No Inventory Liability: Books are printed only when purchased. You never pay for, store, or touch a physical product.
-
Direct-to-Customer Shipping: We package and ship the book directly to the supporter's door via our custom sales portal (www.storyfundraiser.org/<YOUR TEAM NAME>).
-
Monthly Payouts: You receive a check for your full profit at the end of every month, with transparent sales reporting.
Pillar 3: Premium, Mission-Aligned Value
Your custom novel is not a novelty item; it's a professional, emotionally resonant keepsake that serves as a permanent record of your organization’s mission.
-
High-Value Product: Your community enthusiastically pays the $35.00 SRP because they receive a hard-copy novel—a literary extension of your team's values (e.g., resilience, teamwork, dedication).
-
100% Customization: The story, setting, and characters are integrated with your colors, mascot, and local landmarks, making the book truly written for your members.
-
Legacy Building: Every book includes a custom Foreword by your leadership and a permanent Legacy Section featuring your team roster and mission statement.
The Outcome: The Story Fundraiser transforms fundraising from a mandatory chore into a passive, permanent, and highly profitable source of revenue that builds community pride
