Fundraising is Easy With A Personalized Family Cookbook

Easy fundraising? Yes, it is possible to generate funds for your organization or charity without hours and hours of work or door-to-door selling. There will always be a certain amount of that, but if you could find a way to have a fundraiser that was enjoyable, educational and relatively easy, would you try it? I think so.

Make Your Own Cookbook

The family style cookbook is the answer. When you self publish a personalized cookbook full of recipes from the best cooks in your organization or community, you have a not only a very handy reference book that will provide years of fine dishes and desserts, it is also a valuable keepsake. Each recipe will have the name of the contributor, and it can even contain a short paragraph about the person. Imagine how many years you will be using that cookbook that is such a wonderful collection of cooking history. Personalized cookbooks are often passed on from generation to generation and become family heirlooms. People will gladly part with their hard earned money to purchase something that valuable and that will be cherished for years.

The Process

Once you find the right on-line cookbook publisher, you can begin creating the cookbook. A reputable publisher will have all the on-line tools to allow you to create and design it just the way you desire. The format of the book is your choice, as well as the way it is organized (different types of recipes…entrees, desserts, pastries, etc.,) paper stock, font, color and pictures, and you can even opt for special pages that include introductions and acknowledgements.
The basic process can be broken down into the following categories:

Form Your Cookbook Committee
Gather And Organize Your Recipes
Design Your Cookbook
Sell Advertising
Place Your Order
Market Your Cookbook

I Have A Few More Questions

"Aren't there a lot of cookbooks out there already? Will people buy yet another one?" The answer is "yes." The cookbook that you and your organization have created is one of a kind. There isn't another one like it anywhere, and as mentioned above, it is more than just another cookbook. It is a collection of recipes from real people that may very well be friends with many potential customers.
"Is there a chance that we might lose money, instead of making money?" Some cookbook publishers have a guarantee that you won't lose money. If the publisher you are looking at doesn't have a guarantee, I suggest you move on to the next one.

So, get started today and contact a reputable cookbook publisher. People are waiting for your cookbooks!
