Private Schools

As a Christian school administrator, you face many funding challenges. The administrative cost of your school is going up while the discretionary funds of parents and enrollment is going down.

The need for updated computers and sports equipment and additional teachers for oversized classes are continual and great. And so in order to keep the enrollment cost to a minimum you ask your PTF to sponsor a fundraiser. Cookie dough and Christmas wrap fundraisers in the Fall and Bike-a-thon or Jog-a-thon's in the Spring. A lot of work with some moderate returns for the amount of time and energy that everyone was willing to put in.

But what if there was a fundraiser that could generate thousands of dollars every month for your school without all the hassle and hard work? And these thousands of dollars wouldn't just be for one or two months, but every month, even the Summer months. What kind of a fundraiser could do that?

Locker 81 provides an answer and a solution with their SMART GIVING Program.

In this program the parents and seniorhigh school students (if applicable) generate funds for school by simply using a school sponsored SMART GIVING VISA DEBIT CARD to make their regular everyday purchases.

When a purchase is made by a cardholder with a SMART GIVING VISA DEBIT CARD
a percentage of the merchant processing fees that are paid to VISA by the merchant are redirected to your school.

In other words, there is no more need for high maintenance/low yield fundraisers because the funds that are generated, come from the regular cost-of-doing-business processing fees paid by the merchants. So now monies that your PTF and students regularly spend for gas and groceries can now create needed funds for your school and designated programs.

So think of it, things like new computers and playground equipment, teachers raises and even scholarships can now be funded through the SMART GIVING Program. And because the SMART GIVING VISA DEBIT CARD continues to be used year-round by the cardholder, monthly revenues are generated for the school even during the Summer months.
