A Better Solution
There’s no question that practically everyone is feeling the financial pinch from the sputtering economy and rising energy prices. Our public schools are feeling it too, in everything from food costs to fuel for the buses and the same rising energy prices we’re all experiencing.
While we are approaching the end of the current school year, there’s no doubt that most schools will need to make some drastic changes for the upcoming year, and beyond. In addition to spending cuts, they will need to double their fundraising efforts.
The problem is, with everyone feeling the effects of the economy, it’s unlikely that most people will have extra funds to contribute to the usual fundraising sales events. It’s going to be harder to convince neighbors and friends to buy that extra cheesecake, or those candy bars. It’s definitely time for new school fundraising ideas.
People will continue to purchase the same necessities that they purchase today. Schoolpop.com provides schools with an easy method to earn contribution amounts up to 20% of those everyday purchases.
Supporters simply shop with any Schoolpop merchant partner, or use the Schoolpop credit card anywhere, and a percentage of the amount spent will be automatically contributed to the school of your choice.
This is the future of fundraising, and much easier, and safer, than door-to-door.
