Can any group qualify to use
our books for fundraising?
Not all applications will be
accepted. This book is
designed to be used with
animal causes, animal
awareness groups, animal
training programs, shelters
and dog and cat rescues.
Non profit organizations
must be 501 (c)(3) in current
and legal good standing with all
governing organizations.
Certain groups will not be
accepted for fundraising
purposes, including but not
limited to: adult-only
content, political groups,
groups selling firearms or
alcohol; groups promoting
violence, harassment or
hatred; groups conducting or
promoting illegal or immoral
activities. We reserve the
right to final determination
of approval of specific
non-profit organizations.
How
is fundraising achieved if
we have no inventory?
You will be provided a
custom webpage on our server
for taking orders.
After you notify your
supporters and members of
the book and the unique URL
for your organization, they
can then order their copies
of the book from your unique
webpage.
All orders are shipped
within 2-10 business days of
completed payment.
When are orders shipped?
All orders are shipped
within 2-10 business days of
the order received and
payment processed. The
exception would be if we
received an order larger
than our inventory, which
then might delay shipment a
few days. Customized books
can take 10-14 business
days, as these books are
printed on demand unless an
inventory commitment has
been made. Please see
production times below
for more information.
If you have a specific date
need, please inquire.
What payment method do you
accept for orders?
We use PayPal to process
all payments for books.
PayPal accepts all major
credit cards and e-checks
(e-checks may delay the
actual processing of
payment. Books paid for by
e-check will be shipped when
we are notified that the
e-check is cleared)
You do not need a PayPal
account.
PayPal processed payments
through a secure server,
therefore, we never see the
buyers financial details.
For more information
about PayPal, please visit
their
website.
Is there a quantity
commitment?
No
You can sell or order as few
as one.
If you are setting your
books with the custom front
or custom inside page you
will want to sell enough
quantity to recoup that
small
investment. See below
how we
donate that initial small
investment back to you.
And of course, we would be
happy to take your order for
a quantity of books that you
want to keep in house for
your special needs.
Are there any participation
costs
for our organization?
For standard participation,
there are no upfront costs.
See
customizing information
below.
What is standard
participation vs custom?
Standard participation uses
the standard printed version
of this book, no
customization of your logo
or imprint message.
Custom participation allows
for your logo to be placed
on the front cover, and/or a
custom message up to 1000
words, on the inside
of the book.
If you
want your logo placed on the
cover of the book and a
customized chapter or page inside
page, then a set up fee is
required.
To customize a cover or
inside pages of a book
requires time and costs on
our part, so we need to
charge for this to insure
you are serious about using
these books as a fundraiser.
However
these fees are donated back
to you after a certain
quantity of books has been
sold for your fundraising.
For logo on front cover only
$49 set up,
donated back to you
after 25 books are sold with
your custom cover and/or
content.
For logo on front cover and
customized inside chapter or page
$99 set up,
donated back to you
after 50 books are sold with
your custom cover and/or
content.

any sales revenue
collections, customer
returns, and payment

because of an error on our
part, we will reimburse the
