Raise money for schools
My niece and nephew study in a semi-funded school. There are a few fund raising efforts being organized every year to cover the deficits. Last year, they were a bake sale, a food carnival and a concert being organized to raise funds for the school. Though this fund raising activities are good fund raisers, they certainly burdened the teachers and children. As they have to either sell the products or have to get people to support the fund raising events.
The board members and the administrators certainly need to learn how to raise money for schools and draw up some fund raising programs that will work effortlessly in the long run. I told my sister in law who is a committee member in the PTA about the innovative fund raiser program that the private school in town had adopted. It’s very similar to what Schoolpop has, though I have no idea whether this private school is affiliated with Schoolpop
Schoolpop has an innovative fund raising program that doesn’t require people to go out of their ways. People can financially support the school by doing what they normally- shopping. If people choose to shop at designated merchants and stores, part of the proceeds will go to the school. The school doesn’t have to do any selling, but receive a portion of the profits. Isn’t that a brilliant idea? If you are a school administrator or a member of the PTA, you may want to let the school board know of such program.
