    How Can I Earn Money For My School System?

    Decatur Metro | January 26, 2010

    Karass and Macarolina recently requested a post where we could compile a list of passive and easy ways of earning free money for our respective schools.  A great idea!  So here ’tis.

    Karass got the ball-rolling with the following suggestions.  I’ve added links where applicable.  Comments in parentheses are Karass’, italics are mine.

    • Publix Partner Cards (best lucrative/ease of use ratio)  Can anyone find a link?
    • Boxtops for Education (very popular with kids; also good L/EU ratio)  Clip box tops from a list of participating products, bring them to your school’s “box top coordinator’ and earn 10 cents a top!
    • Target Red or Visa Cards (lucrative but less used) You must apply for a check or credit card.  1% of purchases go to your school of choice.
    • Georgia Natural Gas True Blue Schools (very lucrative but few know about it) “Very lucrative” is right.  And easy!  If you’re already a Georgia Natural Gas customer, just pick your school of choice and they automatically donate $5 a month ’til the end of time!
    • Campbell’s Labels for Education (less useful; yields prizes not $) Clip Campbells UPCs, mail them in, earn “great merchandise”.

    Have other suggestions?  Tell us below and I’ll add them to this list!
