Create a Cookbook Fundraiser

Let’s get kids excited about HEALTHY FOOD!

Although creating a cookbook is not a new idea, it is a rewarding one. Cookbooks have longevity and food brings people together. A cookbook fundraiser is a great way to bring your community together by sharing your favourite family recipes. To create a cookbook fundraiser is a lucrative and meaningful idea. It encourages creativity and healthy eating.

Sustainability

When searching the internet, you will find many fine cookbook companies. Schoolyard Stories takes pride in being 100% Australian owned and operated and no portion of our printing is sent overseas. Together with our Australian printing partners we are committed to minimising our carbon footprint and to our pursuit of sustainability.

Great Gift

Cookbooks make a great gift, so most people will buy more than one! Only SYS offers a personalised cover option. You can use our online publishing program, your own desktop publisher or just let us do the lot.

Publishing Software

Our preferred online publisher is easy to use. It is a valuable tool for volunteer committee members. It reduces the workload, eliminates recipe duplication, and makes your cookbook fundraiser so simple you will want to make it an annual tradition. A coordinator creates an online book template and can add recipes as they are submitted.  The coordinator can edit all pages and set the style of the cookbook. There is also an option that allows for multiple proof-readers and editors to help lighten the workload.

You may be more comfortable using your own desktop publisher. Please contact us before you start, so we can advise you on the setup. Pages on a screen do not necessarily translate to print. We will help you avoid any issues when it comes to the printing process. For example, cover design is a bit tricky. You must consider things like, bleed, spine size, grooves, turn and endpapers. Do not worry, we have that covered. It is all part of what we do for you.

We Can Do It All

Let us do it all. We create a customised form that you send out to your community. Each person types in their recipe and has the option to upload images. You choose a style you like, and we format your cookbook. Other than proofreading, we do it all.

Sponsors are a great way to offset printing costs or even pay for your entire print run! We customise a media kit for your project and create adverts for your sponsors at no extra cost. Click here for a PDF that tells you all about it.

No more volunteer time is spent typing recipes. Set the retail price, send out submission invitations and a payment link and let us do the rest. For more information you can go to our FAQ page, use our price calculator, download a PDF of our Price Guide & Publishing Information or Contact Us.
