Did you know that there are types of fundraising that you can do from the comfort of your home? This is called "passive fundraising" and in most cases you are already purchasing the items you need to participate. Some of you are familiar with campaigns of old - Tysons A+ and Campbell's Chicken Soup. Well, a few are still going on Box Tops, Coke Rewards  - Coke Gives program, and Amazon Smile.
 
Remember, you are scanning and clicking your way to dollars spent on funding requests, field trips, end of year awards, teacher appreciation gifts and luncheons, and programs like Art Night, Trunk or Treat, Holiday Movie Night. The PTA does our part to spend the money wisely and we hope you will help us to raise money easily and comfortably from your homes.
 

Amazon Smile 

Most of us, myself included, shop Amazon like it is going out of style. With the advent of PRIME, most of us don't even have to wait that long or pay for shipping any longer. So how do you sign up for Amazon Smile and what is it? It's easy! It is the same products, the same services, the same prices you are used to and they donate .5% of the eligible donation back to Kay Franklin Elementary PTA. You can use the website or your app and it really is easy to set up. 

  • On the Web: use the address smile.amazon.com, complete the setup process, and make sure you choose PTA Texas Congress 2255532 Kay Franklin Elem PTA..
  • In your App: go to the settings, click on Amazon Smile, complete the setup process, and make sure you choose PTA Texas Congress 2255532 Kay Franklin Elem PTA.
  • When making your purchases on the web, make sure you are using the smile.amazon.com address. Also, only purchases marked "eligible for AmazonSmile donation" will receive a donation back to the PTA. 

Box Tops

Things are changing with our beloved Box Tops program. They have been changing for awhile now. Does that mean we stop participating? NO! It just means we have to learn new methods, practice patience (ok, this is hard for me too!), and keep on clipping/scanning! BTFE is really working on trying to make the app better. It is not going to happen overnight and it is frustrating when receipts won't scan and we have to send in missing items claims. It will get better! We just have to keep working with them. Now, they even take email receipts from HEB from Curbside to Go and digital receipts from the HEB Go app. Let's keep trying Colt family and keep earning!

Coke Rewards

Ah, the refreshing taste of a cold coke! It's not just coke though, it's any coke product and the donation sent to the school varies based on the size of the products you buy. All you have to do is scan the lids or the codes on the cardboard or plastic wrapping. It isn't hard; although, sometimes, the codes won't scan and you have to manually enter them. It is an easy though to earn money for our kiddos especially if you already buy it at the store!
