Where the money goes
A Clear and Honest Breakdown of Our Commitment to St. Jude
When people hear about The St. Jude Lady project, the first question they often ask is simple and fair: “Where does the money go?”
The answer is just as simple.
Every dollar of profit from the sale of our self‑published book is donated directly to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital — not once a year, not at random, but four times annually, on a consistent and transparent schedule.
This project is not a charity. It is not a nonprofit organization. It is not endorsed, sponsored, or affiliated with St. Jude or ALSAC in any way.
It is a personal mission — born from one man and his wife’s story, one moment of inspiration, and one lifelong commitment to giving back.
Here’s how it works:
1. Book Sales
When a book is purchased, the payment is processed through our secure payment system. We subtract only the unavoidable costs of printing, shipping, and transaction fees.
2. Profit Calculation
After those basic expenses are covered, the remaining amount — the true profit — is set aside exclusively for donation.
3. Quarterly Donations
Four times a year, we make an official donation to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, sending 100% of the accumulated profit. No salaries. No overhead. No administrative deductions. Just giving.
4. Why We Do It
Because St. Jude represents hope. Because families should never receive a bill for treatment, travel, housing, or food. Because children deserve the chance to grow up, dream big, and live full lives.
And because kindness should leave a trail.
5. Transparency Matters
We believe in being open about how this project works. We believe donors and supporters deserve clarity. And we believe that generosity should always be handled with integrity.
6. Our Staff is not paid
We have no paid employees. Every person involved in The St. Jude Lady Project donates their time, skills, and efforts entirely free of charge. Our work is powered solely by volunteers who believe in the mission and choose to serve without compensation.
This mission is simple: Turn a story into a blessing. Turn a book into a gift. Turn love into action.
That’s where the money goes — and that’s where it will continue to go, faithfully, four times a year.
