Jeanne Reslan. She leads a business that guides school and other
organizations in fundraising by selling fair trade, green and more
sustainable products for families. I asked her to write this because I
was interested in learning more about what she does, and I thought you
might be, too. Our school fundraiser is selling wrapping paper, shiny
and new with not much recycled content. I don't use wrapping paper, so
I don't participate. I know I will be suggesting EcoLabel fundraising
to our PTO leaders as a more sustainable, greener option. Check it out.) The
environment is becoming an ever-growing concern for our present world,
but especially for future generations. It is our hope at EcoLabel
Fundraising that reaching out to schools through our eco-friendly
fundraising programs will help to raise awareness with the youth of our
country. In creating our green fundraising programs, felt we could use
our experience in fundraising, and couple it with our concern for the
environment, to make a powerful program that would help schools raise
funds in an ethical way. We wanted to create a program that would give
parents, students and school staff a way to raise money that could
become a "teaching moment." You may choose from Online or
Paper Catalogs for our traditional fundraiser featuring fair-trade,
organic and eco-friendly products. We also offer Seed and Bulb
Fundraisers and Customized Water Bottle Programs. Both programs have
been very popular. Many schools choose to run all three programs
staggered throughout the school year. It gives a healthy variety. The
Water Bottle Program offers the school away to build school spirit as
well. By personalizing the insulated bottles with the school's logo (or
non-profit's), the students get really excited to have a bottle with
their school's name and logo on it. When a supporter purchases on
behalf of your school, the school yields 40% of the sale. In keeping
with ensuring that our program is ethical, the product prices are
equivalent to normal retail price points. Because we price our products
at a fair market price and return 40% of the sale price back to the
schools, we consequently donate 95% of the profits back to the schools
we work with.Read more http://www.non-toxickids.net/2009/08/green-up-your-schools-fundraising-no.html
