This is a good question as I just signed us up for "Cartridges for Kids" and put a note in our weekly school letter. I have no experience with the program, though. I just noticed a local public magnet school did the program and we didn't so I thought I'd give it a try.

We use "Kash Back for Kid$" (I think). Our computer lab aide takes care of this. I talked to her about using Funding Factory just for cell phones but she seemed offended and said she loved this company and didnt' want to switch. I couldn't explain to her that didn't want to give it up, just supplement it. Through this ink jet co. we raised almost $1,000.00 this year. Many of our parents do not have computers but we have a lot of businesses to donate. I am told that Funding Factory will take the few ink cartridges our company won't.
I did Donate-a-Phone. Filled out all the forms had 5 people to look over it and they said they never received our phones. We never got the money.
