Let's be honest

Most fundraisers make everyone groan.

Overpriced wrapping paper. Cookie dough nobody needs. Catalogs that go straight in the recycling. All that work for a tiny cut and a product no one really wanted.

🎁

Wrapping paper

Marked way up, forgotten in a closet by January.

🍪

Cookie dough

A freezer full of impulse buys nobody asked for.

🗂️

Catalog junk

Trinkets and candles that end up in the trash.

😮‍💨

All that work

Hours of effort for a small slice and no goodwill.

Here's the difference

What if families were genuinely glad to buy?

Our fundraiser sells beautiful, laugh-out-loud children's books. Big 10x10 hardcovers with dust jackets. The kind of book people are happy to own and proud to give.

  • Award-winning, genuinely funny picture books kids ask for again and again.
  • Premium hardcover quality that feels like a gift, not a fundraiser trinket.
  • Every dollar buys a book and puts reading in a child's hands.

Beautiful Hardcover

10x10 inches. Dust jacket. Award-winning. And every copy is personally autographed by the author.

Simple from start to finish

How the FUNdraiser works

Three easy steps. We do the heavy lifting, your group keeps the profit.

1

Pick your date

We set your two-week sale and lock in your free live author kickoff. No cost, no inventory to buy.

2

Your group sells

Everyone has a kid, grandkid, niece, nephew, birthday, or baby shower to buy for. Orders come in online or on paper, and supporters pay up front.

3

Books ship, you profit

We autograph every copy and ship your order. Your group keeps up to 50%. Done.

The secret weapon

A real author who actually shows up.

Every program includes a free live virtual kickoff. Author Jimmy Vee (a children's author and ventriloquist) joins your group on Zoom to read, perform a little magic, and get everyone fired up to sell. It turns a fundraiser into an event, and it is why groups that run the kickoff sell so much more.

Meet Jimmy and see the books (video coming soon)

Plus a prize for your top seller, provided by Jimmy.
