SendSavings(TM) Positioned to Help Offset School Budget Shortfalls
Nearly 100 schools have voiced interest in using the text-coupon fundraising program in lieu of more traditional school fundraising programs.
- Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater, FL (1888PressRelease) August 21, 2010 - SendSavings™, a new text-based fundraising program launched earlier this year, has been building momentum with local schools as a new and effective way to raise money.
As a partner with nearly 70 charities to date, SendSavings™ can also help schools raise money by enlisting parents, extended family members, neighbors and other constituents into a text-coupon program that saves the school supporter money and at the same time helps the school.
According to SendSavings™ founder and CEO, Dan Stewart, "SendSavings engages the same student-centric audiences that are typically asked to buy gift wrap, nuts or small household items. However, with our program, the supporter receives valuable, personalized coupons based on their own spending preferences instead."
"Plus," said Stewart, "there is no merchandise to deliver, and no money exchanges hands. SendSavings makes a donation directly to the school for every text message a school supporter receives - which can be up to 10 a week depending on the supporter's preferences."
While many interested school representatives must wait for school to start or PTAs to reconvene before they can commit to the program, more than 10 local schools have already registered and will start introducing the opportunity to parents at school open houses later this month.
Andrew Wiener is the PTA vice president at Dunedin Elementary School and oversees fundraising and programming. "I was attracted to the simplicity of SendSavings and the ease of participation for supporters and parents," Wiener said.
"One of my primary goals is to make fundraising as simple as possible for the parents. A small effort on our part can lead to a large outpouring of support, and SendSavings fits this model perfectly. I think this program will be very beneficial for our school, and ultimately, for our children," Wiener said.
"We feel like kids waiting for school to start," Stewart said. "Our anticipation builds daily, and we are ready to sign up more schools across Tampa Bay!"
