This was really my husband's idea, but I am sharing. My husband Steven started an environmental newsletter geared to busy parents and kids (or anyone who cares to take action on environmental issues). The newsletter is giving $10 per subscription to the school for each membership sold through the planned Earth Day fundraiser, plus providing environmental activities and an essay contest. The PTA at our school (Terra Vista) is really excited. Is this something that other PTA's would be interested in? Also, do fundraisers for non-goods work? The only fundraisers I have seen are for on-site events (restaurants, etc.) or for food / gift items (candy, cards, wrapping paper, cookie dough, gift baskets, etc.) One reason they like it so much is that it generates a large % of sales as a donation. I guess other fundraisers only give a few cents per item. Please share your thoughts. Thanks, Julia

Hi Julia
as part of a fundraising company we see a lot of interest in environmental ideas for fundraisers. I think that you and your husband will find a lot of interst from customers on this.

Good luck with it.

Thank you! I hope it creates a win-win-win for the schools, the environment, and us (so we can keep it going). Please let me know if you have any suggestions.
Regards,
Julia
