Hosting a Barefoot Books Fundraiser


A Barefoot Books event or fundraiser is a fun and creative way of supporting your school or local not-for-profit organization.  We do all the work and you just reap the rewards!   A portion of all sales proceeds is donated to the organization in either cash or in free products. 

Fundraisers are heavily used by schools and daycares in order to stock their libraries with Barefoot books for free.

What sets a Barefoot Books fundraising opportunity apart?
  • Return - Organizations can earn a significant percentage of fundraiser sales.
  • Award-Winning Products - Our beautiful, imaginative and engaging collection of books and gifts for children aged 0–14 offers something for every buyer.
  • Flexibility - Choose from our exciting menu of flexible fundraising models to suit your schedule and your goals. We also provide a Barefoot Books online marketplace where supporters who are unable to attend your event can shop and raise funds.
  • Creative! - We can help you create an event your supporters will remember by adding storytelling, music or crafts.
A fundraiser can be set up in a number of ways, so contact me for more details!  Our most popular formats are: 
  • A passive sales fundraiser (i.e. putting Barefoot flyers into student backpacks with a letter) 
  • An active sales fundraiser (giving members of your organization a flyer and asking them to sell to friends and family)
  • An order-based) book fair (where I set up a stall with samples and take orders) 
  • An event fundraiser (where I come in and do some story-telling and/or arts and crafts)
  • An addition to an event that your organization is already holding (i.e. I can set up a Barefoot Books table at a fun fair, open house, etc.)
