What corporate fundraising programs does your childs school participate in?

Our kids school does:

General Mills Boxtops for Education
Campbells Labels for Education
Empties for Cash (recycled printer cartridges)

Just wondering if there are any more out there that we might check out, I do know about
Target guest card, that didnt seem to go over well and one of the phone companys, and the school mall thing. They do that at other ds school. Any info is appreciated , thanks. This would be for programs valid in the NY metro area.

We do the soup labels and the boxtops.

That's it--except for local things like Scholastic Book Fair and cookie dough sells.

We do the three you have listed plus two local grocery store chains. I'm not sure either of them are located in your area. Food Lions are found in much of the country and, I think, Harris Teeter is limited to the South. Both give a percentage of sales to the school; at HT the emphasis is on housebrand items. A new and incredible HT just opened in our community, so I'm sure we'll get a lot more $ from that next year. Also, they "paid" double in July and August.

We also have a couple local restaurant franchises that give 5%, I think, of receipts turned in on a certain day each month to the elementary school. One is a Chik fil A, so you might want to go after something like that.

I have my Target VISA linked to our elementary school, although our school doesn't push that one at all. HT lets you do multiple schools, so I have both my children's schools linked there. The Food Lion also applies to nonprofit organizations, so I have that card linked to the arts council that employees me.
