Search And Give
it is through scholastic and it is a microsoft product. It's a free search engine where you can choose a charity and they will give a penny for every search through the toolbar up to 10 per day per person. They also have online games that you can donate your "tickets" to a charity as well... your school just needs to be added. They send money at the end of the year. I just found out that our school had this and they got $15 last year. We parents didn't find out about it until now. At least I don't think we did. Sometimes I don't get stuff from my kids :cool: imagine that.
any how...
it is easy.
it works.
it pays.
Our Parent Club participates in fundraisers such as Box Tops, Tyson Labels and Cambell's labels. But I'm sure there are others out there that we should be taking advantage of. Such as when someone shops at an online store, they somehow plug in our school's code (the school must be registered with the site) and then the school gets a percentage of the sale. I know that people can do this by going to the Box Tops sites and then choosing the online vendor, but is there a list of vendors to sign up directly with?
I'd like to put together something on our website with the clickable links of all the participating vendors. Something easy for parents to use.
Also, are there other easy-to-do, ongoing fundraisers that I'm not thinking of? Similar to Box Tops and labels. I saw someone mention something about ink cartridges? What's that about? Any other ideas? Thanks!
