–Kathy Marchetti, past PTO President and GR5 Teacher, Witchcraft Heights Elementary School, Salem, MA
- The work is DONE-FOR-YOU
- 50% mystery book profit automatically paid when generated, as is the 25% profit on the additional books in the program
- Excites students into reading via a multi-award-winning book about THEM
- No selling required
- NONE of the traditional fundraising gotchas
Compared to a Scholastic Book Fair, we offer DOUBLE the cash percentage for 1/100th of the work.
The Un-Raiser can easily be done in conjunction with their book fair, but you’ll make more money doing it BEFOREHAND.
The Un-Raiser’s personalized books get students EXCITED about reading, leading them to want more books from the book fair after reading it.
It’s just an easy fundraiser to kickoff the school year, making money without the hassle of other fundraisers.
If you aren’t doing a book fair, we offer the magnified benefit of more reading excitement without the pain of setup, staffing, inventory, money counting, tracking, reporting, and school space requirements. It’s all done FOR you.
This fund streaming system was conceived and is supported by Children’s Literacy Innovations, a non-profit, to help achieve their goal of getting elementary-aged children excited about reading.
“Our #1 book choice for grades 3-6 to get students to WANT to read!”
“Nothing has gotten my students more excited about reading than the Sherlock and Me personalized mystery. They beg for the chance to read about themselves.”
The world's first interactive, choose-your-path, personalized mystery for kids. Winner of multiple awards including a Ben Franklin award for innovation in children's literature.
The Un-Raiser Funding System
Compared to a Scholastic Book Fair, we offer double the cash percentage for 1/100th the effort.
How does it work?
● Every student gets the first two chapters of the multi-award-winning mystery starring THEM for free. GR3-6 books are set to the standard edition and K-2 books are pre-set to the junior “read-about-me-to-me” configuration.
● At the end of the second chapter, parents can purchase the balance of the book and more books after that.
● The child and parents can also GIVE AWAY—not sell— a FREE try-before-you-buy mystery book to friends, cousins, anyone. These books are about the RECIPIENT, with sales from those give-aways credited to the school. You’ll have money streaming in from across the country.
● For each mystery book purchase—within the school or shared outside of the school—your school receives 50% of the sale electronically. For each follow-on book in the program purchased by your families, your school receives 25%. Beyond that, your school scores 10% of any other purchases made from our website.
● Along the way, the students earn popular rewards and prizes! We also help with classroom competition for the most shared books that get activated (purchased). We are also open to any ideas you think will benefit your goals to maximize earnings and get students excited about reading.
● The completion of each book introduces ANOTHER book about the child to keep them excited about reading. Several books drop the students right into the middle of history to learn firsthand about the invention of the telephone, the underground railroad, or Paul Revere’s ride through Boston, as some examples.
● It’s a DONE-FOR-YOU system. We handle everything—sales tracking, automatic electronic payments to you, messaging and support—we even provide videos for informing parents AND students, pre-written communications that you can modify, and if you need any additional form of communication to help your cause, we’ll provide that, too—the easiest, most fun fundraiser you have ever done!
Why are THESE books better for fundraising than anything else?
1. The books star the reading child as main character and hero. The starting book is the world’s first and only multi-award-winning mystery to do this. What child does not want to read about (or be read to about) themselves as hero at their own school?
2. In addition to the school, we reward each child for their or their parents’ efforts in giving away free try-before-you-buy books. Rewards include juggling lessons, free products, and even a family Zoom call with the book’s author! Classrooms can also compete for a Zoom session with the author based on the number of activations of their shares (sold copies).
Children, parents, teachers, cafeteria workers, parents—ANYBODY with a code related to your school is allowed to share. Watch as money comes streaming in via books shared all over the country. And don’t be surprised by reading specialists and librarians becoming enamored with these books and sharing their code for free try-before-you-buy books everywhere.
