Hey, y'all!

I've put together some of the easiest ways to earn money
for your classroom or school.
Let's face it!
We all need it!
Let's get started!
1) Ziggedy
This is my new favorite!
Teachers register their classrooms, and supporters sign up and shop online. THAT'S IT!
Downloading the Ziggedy app gives classrooms extra funds!
2) Shoparoo
Our school just started using Shoparoo, and it's amazing how simple it is to use. Just download the app then take pictures of your receipts after shopping. That's it!
Receipts earn cash donations or sweepstakes entries, and your school can have competitions between grades.

3) Adopt
A Classroom.org
Teachers register their classrooms, and donors find
and fund classrooms with 100% tax deductible
donations. I received funds from Adopt A
Classroom last year and was able to order
needed supplies from Office Depot.

Register your Target Red Card for your favorite school then 1% of your total purchase will go toward that school.
5) Kroger Community Rewards
Works like the Target Red Card, just register your Kroger card for your favorite school. Your school earns 3-5% of your purchases depending on what you buy.

6) eScrip.com
Another shop and earn program.
Your school can earn up to 10% of purchases made through eScrip.
I've never used this one but have heard great things!

7) Office
Depot
Make a purchase of qualifying school
supplies, provide your school ID at checkout, and
your designated school will receive 5% back in
credits for FREE supplies!
Purchase Tyson products with the A+ label, clip the labels, and send labels to school.
Your school will earn 24¢ for each label.

9) Box Tops 4 Education
Oh, the tried and true! BT4E is one of America's oldest and largest fundraising programs.
Purchase products with Box Tops labels, clip the Box Tops and send them to school.
Your school will receive 10¢ for each Box Top.
BT4E loves to offer bonus products and coupons, so be sure to check for those!
10) Labels for Education-
You know this one, too!
It all started with Campbell's Soup labels!!
Collect UPCs and beverage/sauce caps from participating products and send them to school. Your school will earn points to spend at the Labels' online store, which has everything from basketballs to iPads.
11) Flipgive.com
Flipgive allows you to search for a fundraiser on their site, then shop online deals from merchants like Nike and Starbucks. Your school or other organization can earn up to 50%!
12) Donor’sChoose
Teachers submit project proposals, and
supporters make monetary donations to help
fund the projects.
I received 6 Kindle Fire HDXs through
DC two years ago. Incredible organization!
BONUS- Farmer's Insurance-Thank America's Teachers
Teachers submit proposals for a $2500 Grant OR the $100,000 Dream Big contest.
Online voting determines the winners!
Hurry, though! This contest closes September 30.
Other
Ideas
1) 50/50 Raffle-Sell raffle tickets and give the winner half of all money raised. For instance, if you sell $500 in raffle tickets, the winner gets $250.
2) Redditt Gifts-Each fall, teachers can sign up for a gift exchange. Redditt matches teachers with donors who provide needed materials up to $20. Some donors give much more.
3) Right Road Kids.org-Such an inspirational place! Paula is so incredibly generous and has tons of giveaways and offers for teachers. But, even if you never win anything, Right Road Kids is a feel-good experience!
4) Recycling ink cartridges-Check online to find a recycling center in your area.
5) Silent Auction-Y'all, I love a silent auction. Ask faculty and parents to send items that still have tags or hit up local businesses for items.
6) Used Book Sale-Another easy clean-out-your-closet idea. Sell gently used books for 50¢ each. Most teachers love to read, and you could get books into the hands of children who may not have many at home. Libraries raise funds this way all the time.
Okay, so I know there are probably some crazy good fundraisers I've missed, but, y'all I'm spent, and it's way past my bedtime.
If you have any great ideas to add, please list them below.
It's the weekend, friends!
I hope yours is happy!!
