The donated funds will be used to pay for such expenses as purchasing ISBNs for future books, helping to cover the cost of the software needed to bring books to market, securing tables at book events, etc. The company is run by unpaid volunteers.
Sigma’s Bookshelf is a fiscally sponsored project of Springboard for the Arts, a nonprofit arts services organization. All donations made via the company's GiveMN page are tax deductible and can be made at any time.
