Campus-wide Fundraising
Raise $200 to $2,000 with minimal effort
If you have a cause or project that needs financial support, fundraising with books is an easy way to do it.
It’s free of red tape and takes only a few minutes to organize.
Here’s how it works:
•We provide key points to communicate, to make the book collection effective.
•You promote your project to faculty
•We come on campus to evaluate and collect any unwanted books that can raise money
•We supply funds by cash or check, with a list of contributors, to the coordinator
What happens to the books?
Through several discount wholesale book exchanges, the books we buy are made available to students (at other schools) who need them for required reading. Most are resold as used, providing students with an less expensive alternative when they must purchase the latest edition.
