With education budgets across the country slashed, parents of children in both public and private schools are taking up the slack. Parent-driven fund-raising keeps classrooms stocked with computers, libraries filled with books, and teams supplied with uniforms and equipment. Beyond the Bake Sale is a comprehensive guide to foolproof methods that will raise the maximum amount of money for your cause.

Learn how the pros:

  • set up a fund-raising team
  • find national organizations that will give your school a cut of sales
  • put on events that leave bake sales and car washes in the dust
  • run a pledge drive
  • involve parents and get them to volunteer
  • account for and distribute the money you raise

Complete with school-year timelines and innovations from fund-raisers across the country, Beyond the Bake Sale is the only blueprint you’ll need to start making money for your school or library this year.
