Considering the current economic climate in our country and the slashing of funding for non-profit organizations, who couldn't use a little help? The SDS Fundraising Program is a creative and innovative effort to raise organizational awareness and funding at the same time.

Each one of the non-profit organizations participating in the SDS Fundraising Program represents a way to meet an important need in our community. We are committed to doing what we can to raise the quality of life for humanity by using the sale of author Fran Allen's books and other inspirational items. A portion of the proceeds from every book sold will benefit the non-profit organization you choose when you purchase. Step up and be the change you're waiting for! We have.
