One Of The Best Fundraising Ideas Is The Personalized Cook Book

One of the best fundraising ideas available is the personalized family recipe book. They have been helping organizations and charities for decades. One cookbook publisher of which I know has been in business since 1947. Do a Google search and find out yourself. It is very apparent that cookbooks are a viable fundraiser or they wouldn't still be around. If you are contemplating a fundraiser, then consider the family style cookbook.

Why Are They So Popular?

Not only do they contain the finest recipes from the best cooks, they document a bit of history. Imagine your children, 40 years from now, as they are paging through a cookbook like that. (Each recipe has the name of the contributor.) You can almost hear them now. "Hey, I remember Mrs. Johansen and her apple pie! She used to win at the county fair almost every year." Or, "Do you recall when we would be playing in her yard, and she would come out with a plate of these cookies? Those were the best times."

My wife, on the other hand, buys personalized cookbooks because she is always anxious to try a new recipe. I'm not complaining, because I get to eat the fine food…but she must have several dozen cookbooks. She once said to me, "Too many cookbooks still aren't enough."

Regardless of why they are important to the people who buy them, there is value there. That is what cookbooks have over most other fundraising ideas. Value.

Is It Hard To Create A Cookbook?

The answer is "no." With a reputable on-line cookbook publisher you can dive in and get started on the path to a successful fundraiser. The publisher should have the on-line tools that let you do much of it at your computer if you wish. Options should include the cover design, paper stock and ink colors, dividers and dedication pages, how you want it organized, and what kinds of pictures and graphics you want. Find one that has been around a long time because you can be assured they know what they are doing, and they won't go out of business. If you can find one that has a guarantee…so much the better. If you look around you can find a few publishers that do offer a guarantee. That is hard to beat.

There isn't any reason to wait any longer. Get started on that successful fundraiser today.
