Fundraising Tools

A book can be an effective fundraising tool for non-profit organizations, such as charities, schools, special interest groups, museums and human interest causes. Not only can they be used as commodities to generate capital for specific organizations or causes, but they lend themselves to be underwritten for production costs by profitable enterprises interested in associating their name with the non-profit organization or cause.

Hibel: The Life and Art of Edna Hibel
by Shawn McAllister

“Thank you for introducing the Hibel Museum to an incredible fundraising tool! StarGroup has done a wonderful job in helping us promote the coffee table book which showcases the incredible life of Edna Hibel. Your suggestions and assistance in producing a marketing package to launch the project was very effective. Raising funds for something non-existent is not an easy task. The fact that the first printing of this book has the ability to generate over $750,000 is very exciting.”

Director
Hibel Museum of Art

The Hibel Museum of Art in Jupiter, Florida wanted to produce a biography of world renowned artist Edna Hibel concentrating on the many people whose paths she crossed and the influence and impact they had on her and her art. The challenge was to find a way to use the biography as a major fundraiser for the Edna Hibel Foundation to support the Hibel Museum of Art. The solution was to raise the necessary capital for the museum to publish the book thereby assuring all book sale proceeds went to benefit the museum.
