Donate to Help Bookstore Romance Day Continue & Grow, organized by Billie Bloebaum

tl;dr: Bookstore Romance Day expenses are up. Donations and sponsorships are not. Your donation helps to ensure that Bookstore Romance Day can continue. My name is Billie and I am the founder and organizer of Bookstore Romance Day. Bookstore Romance Day was founded in 2019 and had less than 200 bookstores participating. In 2020, the world changed and Bookstore Romance Day had to change with it. Since that time, Bookstore Romance Day has offered a full slate of virtual programming over the two days of Bookstore Romance Day weekend every year. In order to keep these events accessible to the most people possible, they are always offered free of charge. In 2022, virtual programming began to be offered throughout the year, as well. In 2023, there were more than 500 independent bookstores in the US and Canada who officially celebrated Bookstore Romance Day and even more that celebrated unofficially. For the first year, all virtual programming was brought "in house," with no publisher-created content. There were nearly 50 participating authors, 10 bookstore co-hosts/moderators, 10+ hours of conversation, and over 1000 registered attendees. Sadly, as Bookstore Romance Day has continued to grow, so have expenses and, unfortunately, donations and sponsorships have not increased accordingly. I don't want to decrease the amount of programming offered, nor do I want to have to start charging for event attendance, knowing that even $1 can be a barrier to attendance for many. I would also like to offer even more programming throughout the year, to increase the number of participating bookstores, to offer swag for bookstores to give away, and to implement some plans that have had to be kept on the back burner. What your donation will support: Continued and expanded virtual programming Free admission for everyone to all virtual programming Outreach to bookstores and publishers Operating expenses such as postage, internet service, newsletter service, virtual events platform, etc. Read more

Why GoFundMe Articles and URLs Appear on Our Website and How We Support Other GoFundMe Campaigns

At LFEBridge Foundation, we are dedicated to creating a platform where individuals and organizations can maximize their fundraising efforts. As part of our commitment to supporting a wide range of causes, we incorporate articles and URLs from GoFundMe into our website. Here’s why you might see GoFundMe content on our site, how it benefits the fundraising community, and our relationship with GoFundMe:

1. Amplifying Reach for Fundraising Campaigns

  • Increased Visibility: By featuring GoFundMe articles and URLs on our platform, we help increase the visibility of various fundraising campaigns. This additional exposure can attract more donors and supporters, helping campaigns achieve their goals more quickly.

  • Cross-Promotional Opportunities: Highlighting campaigns from GoFundMe allows us to support a broader spectrum of causes and connect with a wider audience. This cross-promotion benefits both the campaign organizers and potential donors looking for causes to support.

2. Supporting Campaign Growth

  • Advertising and Promotion: We understand the importance of visibility in successful fundraising. By showcasing GoFundMe campaigns, we provide an advertising platform that helps these campaigns reach potential donors who might not have discovered them otherwise.

  • Strategic Partnerships: Collaborating with GoFundMe and featuring their campaigns on our site strengthens the fundraising ecosystem, ensuring that worthwhile causes receive the attention and support they deserve.

3. Expanding Donor Networks

  • Broader Donor Base: Featuring a variety of campaigns from different platforms helps diversify and expand the donor base. This means more people can learn about and contribute to a variety of causes, ultimately driving higher engagement and donations.

  • Enhanced Outreach: By integrating GoFundMe content, we help campaigns tap into new networks and communities, broadening their reach and potential impact.

How We Help Other GoFundMe Campaigns Grow

1. Featured Campaigns Section

  • Highlighting Noteworthy Campaigns: We have a dedicated section on our website where we feature noteworthy GoFundMe campaigns. This not only gives these campaigns a spotlight but also encourages visitors to explore and contribute to them.

  • Rotating Features: To ensure a diverse range of campaigns get visibility, we regularly rotate the featured campaigns. This continuous update keeps the content fresh and engaging for our audience.

2. Social Media Promotion

LFEBridge Foundation's Independence

It’s important to clarify that LFEBridge Foundation is an independent entity and is not part of or affiliated with GoFundMe. While we feature and support GoFundMe campaigns on our site, we operate as a separate foundation dedicated to collecting donations for various causes, similar to GoFundMe. Many of these causes are displayed on our website to provide donors with a wide range of options to support.

Conclusion

By featuring GoFundMe articles and URLs on our website, LFEBridge Foundation supports a wide array of fundraising campaigns, helping them gain the visibility and donations they need to succeed. Through our promotional efforts and strategic partnerships, we aim to create a robust and supportive environment for all fundraising initiatives.
