As parents stock up on school supplies, clothing and pantry needs for the new school year, they will be able to earn cash for their schools through Box Tops for Education, the nation's largest school fundraising program.
Clipping Box Tops for Education coupons from 240 products has earned American K-8 schools more than $475 million since the program started in 1996. Schools use the cash for the things they need most, such as textbooks, technology, field trips, musical instruments, classroom supplies and teacher scholarships.
Ten-cent Box Tops coupons clipped from more than 240 products and shopping 200 online eBoxTops retailers allow schools to earn thousands for the things they need most, including textbooks, classroom technology, field trips, musical instruments, playground equipment and teacher scholarships.
On average, schools in the U.S. earn around $900 annually through the program, but many schools earn more than $20,000 by clipping coupons, participating in Box Tops bonus programs and shopping the online Box Tops Marketplace.
Back-to-school bonus product offerings, as well as special earning programs from Wal-Mart, Jewel-Osco and Sam's Club, will provide schools the opportunity to earn hundreds of thousands of Box Tops.
