Averaging around $10,000-$12,000 raised per group, honored by the US Department of Education as a guide to service learning, the AMERICA SERVES Student Journal has been used to raise money and resources for nonprofits since 2003. NGOs as diverse as Eve Ensler's Tasaru Girls Rescue Centre, Jesse Ruben’s We Can Project, the United Movement to End Child Soldiering, Orphans of Rwanda (now Kepler.org), Polaris Project, CIVIC (Campaign for Innocent Victims in Conflict) and a prestigious cancer research fundraising organization have used these principles to create new donations to their work and new supporters. While originally used by student groups, the materials can be used by any group (or one or two motivated individuals) to raise money and awareness for your work. You don’t have to do anything more than provide a link to the books’ Amazon listing on your own website under the “Make a Difference” or “Donate” or “Support Us” tab that’s already on your website and encourage your supporters to buy this book.
