Yesterday’s artists need art tools and supplies
So do tomorrow’s
Yet, budget cuts leave schools without the supplies kids need
Traditional school fundraising sales do not reach many potential supporters
“I would gladly help the schools I attended in Miamiand my nephew’s school in LA. However, I am in NYC,
and the folks selling cookie dough don’t reach me.”
Traditional school fundraising sales squander most available support
Time-consuming and disruptive
Not tax-deductible
Not matched by employers
Inefficient ($3.7 B in sales, but only $1.7B goes to the schools) *
$2 billionthat could have bought
school resources goes to pay for the fundraising merchandise, instead
Cookie dough, wrapping paper, chocolate, etc.
