Services for non-profit groups

We offer three different types of aid to non-profit groups. Literature display, sale of non-profit publications, and in store event.

Literature display


We will happily display posters or brochures for your group. We have an outdoor bulletin board you are free to use. Please come into the store to get a plastic sheet protector if we’re open. This will protect your poster from rain so it will last longer. If it is an ongoing effort, we can also laminate an 8 X 11.5 poster.
We also have a limited amount of counter space for brochures, newsletters, and trifolds. If you have never brought us brochures before, please call us or come into the store during normal hours. Once we have received materials from you several times, you can mail them in or leave them in our outdoor drop off. We have a limited number of literature stands, so if you have one, please provide one.

 

Sale of publications


Has your non-profit group produced a book or pamphlet as a fundraising item? We can sell them in the store and on our website. All proceeds go to your organization.

We can also add your literature to our listing on a major book engine, if you wish. However, as we must pay a fee for listing through that engine, the fee will be deducted from your proceeds.

 

In Store Events


For an in store event, you will receive a percentage of our in store sales that day. We handle all the organization, so your group can focus on their core programs, not on fundraising events.

What you get:

  1. 25% of the net in-store sales for that day
  2. Promotion of the upcoming event on our website and in our store
  3. Ability to sell your own group’s non-book merchandise at the event EXCEPT unpackaged food. (we have no facilities to handle food) Packaged food is fine. (such as Girl Scout cookies, band’s selling candy, etc.) We have a limited amount of indoor space, but do have a large sidewalk area available for use in good weather.
  4. A donation box on the counter for the day. (we do not normally allow donation boxes)

Conditions:

  1. You must be a registered non-profit, in the process of becoming a registered non-profit group, or subsection of a larger non-profit group. (example: individual Girl Scout troops are part of the Girl Scouts USA, which is a registered non-profit.)
  2. You must give us at least three week’s notice that you would like to hold an event
  3. In store events will only be held on Sundays or Mondays, and will last no more than four hours.
  4. You may not get the first date you request. We will only do one per week, and may have other commitments some weeks.
  5. We reserve the right to turn down any fundraising request for any reason.
  6. You will be responsible for publicizing the event to your members.
