Being an Eagle Scout, former youth group member and (briefly) a private school student, I’ve done my share of fundraisers.

Popcorn, flowers, “gift items” (aka overpriced junk), and even fertilizer - I’ve had to sell a lot of unrelated stuff before to help the organizations I belonged to.

So I had an idea for Catholic organizations, churches and websites that are about to make an appeal or start a fundraising project - offer the Digital Catholic Library to friends and family!

We’re all going to be tightening our belts this year, and at the same time the clouds of darkness are making instructional tools for Catholics even more important. So this year, consider using a quality Catholic product for your fundraiser.

Your organization’s supporters will get 35 books including The Summa Theologica, Augustine’s Confessions, Orthodoxy, Story of A Soul, The Imitation of Christ, and more - a $400 value, according to Amazon prices - for only $30. Even in today’s frightening economic times, this is a great value.

And since I remember selling lots of items for little profit, your organization will get $15 (50%) of each sale!

Here’s how it works:

1) Download the informational flyer below. You can reproduce it for bulletins, handouts, newspaper inserts, etc with your group’s contact information on it.

2) Email sales@dyinglight.com to let us know you’ll be starting a fundraiser. We’ll make sure there is some product set aside for you.

3) Set a timeframe (we suggest 2 weeks) and tell your parish, school, club, community about the fundraiser. Collect the funds and contact information of the people who order for your records.

4) Email us again with the number of CD-ROM’s you’ve sold, and we’ll make payment arrangements for $15 per CD-ROM - the rest is for your group to use! We’ll send them right out to you, with free shipping! There is a minimum of 5 CD-ROMs per fundraiser, though.

If you are planning an appeal and may need hundreds of CD-ROMs, email sales@dyinglight.com and we can work out special pricing and arrangements, including direct order fulfillment.

For a more long-term, hands-off fundraising option, consider our affiliate program which pays 25% of each referred sale of the Digital Catholic Library. Perfect for a website or blog!

Here’s a video overview of the Digital Catholic Library and its features:

The following video explains how to use the Digital Catholic Library to print your own Catholic books, and use the unique ebook features:

This is the first in what I hope to be a series of [tag]eBooks [/tag]re-submitted to the world. Yes, these works, now in the public domain, can be found elsewhere. But if you are coming across this text for the first time here on this website - then I have managed to do some service to humanity.

Belloc’s [tag]The Free Press[/tag] is an amazingly relevant essay on the nature of news [tag]media[/tag]. While the internet has changed things, the filtration system of the press is still in the hands of relatively few wealthy gatekeepers, who will never be free - while they have shaken the chains of [tag]government control[/tag] and [tag]censorship[/tag], they have willingly put on the chains of [tag]advertising[/tag] and financial support from companies with their own agendas and products and services to promote.
