in a fund to replace the floor in the church fellowship hall.
Taste of Marin - Sheila Towns. Novoto, CA.
"...we have raised more than $7,000 in profit to be given directly to

to one another."

Cookbooks as Fundraisers
Your group can raise thousands of dollars by selling cookbooks. Cookbooks can be sold for 2 to 4 times their cost, making them highly profitable. Groups can earn anywhere from $500 to $50,000.
Groups that have made a fundraising cookbook include churches, schools, organizations, school bands, colleges, culinary schools, hospitals, chambers of commerce, community centers, retirement centers, senior centers, nursing homes, PTOs, clubs, auxiliaries, service organizations, fire departments, police and sheriff departments, libraries, museums and historical societies, humane societies, dance studios and gymnastics schools, YMCAs and YWCAs, communities, and professional organizations. Individuals have even published successful cookbooks featuring specialized cooking, such as low-fat or ethnic, or recipes from a locally noted cook.
Cookbooks as Keepsakes
Families, churches, and organizations can make a keepsake cookbook to commemorate a reunion, anniversary, or special event. Brides and grooms create custom cookbooks as wedding favors or gifts. You will treasure the prized recipes, history, and traditions preserved in a keepsake cookbook. Your cookbook can contain poems, history, photos, and any other information you
want to include.
Cookbooks for Business
Publishing an employee cookbook is a fun way to unite employees, customers, and suppliers. Your business cookbook can be used as a fundraiser, which generates favorable PR when proceeds are given to a charitable cause. Commemorate anniversaries or other events by creating a keepsake that preserves history, stories, and photos. Cookbooks can be given to employees or customers as a holiday gift or part of a promotional campaign. Food manufacturers can include recipes that incorporate their products to create a unique marketing tool.
Among our business customers are hospitals and health related businesses, resorts, bed and breakfasts, restaurants, hotels, credit unions, financial institutions, fitness centers, grocery stores, food manufacturers and retailers, humane societies, dance studios and gymnastics schools, YMCAs and YWCAs, realtors, and many manufacturing and retail businesses.
