School Fundraising

I don't think I know anyone who thinks it's a bad idea to have ample school funding. Ok, maybe I know a few grumpy people. Anyway, I found an interesting site called Schoolpop which focuses on school fundraising ideas, mainly through contributions that are made when you purchase merchandise off sponsoring click and mortar sites. I was extremely surprised by the number of stores that participate as well. Participating companies include HP, Sirius Internet Radio, iTunes, McAfee, Netflix, Amazon, Sears, and many more. The idea behind it makes sense for everyone, first you ask a well know retailer to give back a set amount of every sale that's generated by their site, which they can then claim as a tax deductible donation. The consumer gets a good feeling by shopping through the donation network, and they get what they want after the transaction is complete. The foundation then gets money for schools in need and the cycle goes on. Sounds pretty good to me.

So, if you're interested in making a difference for children in need, and at the same time get a little something for your self, visit the site. At least you'll feel a little better the next time you indulge yourself.
