Stay At Home & Read a Book Fundraising

The Simi Valley Public Library Foundation held a "Stay at Home and Read a Book" Fundraiser. The idea was for interested parties to donate to the foundation and then just quietly follow what the fundraiser's name suggests. Usually you have to get all dressed up for a fundraiser and the restaurant that you hold it at gets a share of the money raised. With this setup, the money goes directly to the library and there isn't so much of a hassle.

We have included a number of do-it-yourself fundraising ideas in this section such as a Stay At Home & Read a Book Event that offer a break from traditional product sales. They were developed by groups just like yours in an attempt have a little fun with their fundraiser. Some of them are tried and true while others show a lot of creativity ... and even wackiness in some cases.  All of them are obviously not appropriate for every group, but sometimes, with only a little modification, your might find some fund raising ideas that are perfect for your group.
