The problem with ordinary recognition
Your members do extraordinary things. But a social post lasts a day, a plaque gathers dust, and another annual gala fades from memory by Monday.
What if their story — and yours — could be told in a way that lasts for years, travels the world, and grows your community every time it's shared?
What is Fundraising by Engagement?
A premium publication that celebrates your community — and builds something that lasts.
We produce a beautifully designed hardcover coffee table book and digital publication, spotlighting your members, thought leaders, milestones, and impact stories. It's a curated ecosystem narrative — told professionally, designed exceptionally, and delivered to 500 people who matter to your organisation.
Celebrate your members
Feature the people and organisations that power your community — in a format worthy of their contribution.
Build momentum every year
Each edition welcomes new members and milestones. The publication becomes a recurring, reusable asset — not a one-off effort.
Create a lasting legacy
A premium hardcover book is a tangible artefact of impact. It sits on desks, starts conversations, and builds pride in belonging.

What our clients say
"This publication gave our members something they could hold, share, and be proud of — not just another email newsletter or social post."
"The process was completely stress-free. Experia handled everything — research, interviews, design, printing. We just had to show up and approve pages."
"Our members keep these books on their desks. People ask about them. It's become a symbol of belonging to our community in a way a digital-only approach never could have been."
Questions? We have answers.
Everything you need to know about Fundraising by Engagement
Our standard timeline is 6 to 9 months, depending on how quickly you can provide stakeholder information and approve pages. We'll give you a detailed project schedule on day one so you know exactly what to expect.
Typically 15–25 individuals or organisations, spread across feature stories, profiles, and impact sections. The exact number depends on your book's page count and the depth of each story. We'll plan this together during the discovery phase.
Absolutely. In fact, we encourage it. You can provide photos from events, team portraits, or organisational archives. We'll handle quality checks, adjustments, and layout integration. High-resolution images are best (300 DPI minimum for print).
Minor edits are included in the project scope. For substantial revisions to an approved page, we'll discuss timelines and any additional cost. Most clients find the approval process smooth because we refine pages together iteratively.
Yes. You own all rights to the stories, photos, and design. You can repurpose content on your website, in newsletters, on social media, and in presentations. Many clients extract quotes and testimonials for ongoing marketing.
Both. You get a branded PDF e-book for email campaigns, and a dedicated web URL where members can read online, share stories, and access interactive features. We'll discuss digital features during discovery.
Perfect — many organisations publish annual editions, each celebrating a new cohort. The second edition is faster because we've already established the editorial voice and design system. You can run the same timeline or accelerate it.
We handle all interviews and writing. Your role is to provide context about your organisation, nominate interview subjects, and review drafts. Most of the heavy lifting is on us.
Yes. We'll share a portfolio of past editions — both spreads from books and the full digital experience — during your initial conversation. We have examples from Nashville, Kansas City, Washington DMV, and more.
Investment typically ranges from $35,000–$55,000 for a full 150-page edition with 500 hardcover books, digital publication, and all editorial services. We'll provide a detailed quote after understanding your scope. Payment is structured in three milestones: start, 50% completion, and final delivery.
