Projects Possible

I never could quite grasp the concept of sending our children out to pawn candy bars, wrapping paper, tea, etc… just so they could earn money for the latest and greatest “program” at school.   I must say I am a sucker and I will usually pry out of my wallet the $3 dollars they are asking for $.50 cents worth of chocolate.  But there just has to be a better way.

Schoolpop is a company that has come up with a solution.  As America’s #1 tuition crediting and school fundraising program, Schoolpop has built a program designed around what you already do…shop!  If you happen to shop at any of their merchants those merchants will give a percentage or a dollar amount back to the school of your choosing.   In just a few minutes of looking through their merchant list I found 3 merchants that I had purchased from just this week.  Merchants that would have sent almost $18.00 back to our local school.

To contribute to school fundraising programs all you need to do is go to the website, join, and shop.   You can certainly optimize your shopping by registering your debit cards and shopping at participating local merchants and they do have a  Schoolpop Visa card that offers an additional 1% of purchases, but none of these things are required.If your kids are getting ready to head out on a begging mission for a school project or activity, I would suggest that you give Schoolpop a look.  It may not stop the begging mission from happening but is will certainly make it so they don’t have to beg quite as hard?
