The History of the Everton Mint   by Alexander Craig

Some fundraising ideas which have worked well include:

- Selling sweets, chocolate drives

- Making t-shirts

- Baking and selling cookies

- Creating and selling artwork or posters

- Selling or requesting donations door-to-door

- Approaching local businesses

Always gain parental permission prior to involving students in the fundraising process; most parents are delighted to assist the college improve resourcing. Students should always be accompanied when collecting door-to-door

2. Fundraising through Local Business

Many local businesses and retail chains offer special programs for teachers to improve funding for supplies. For example, offering free advertising in the school newsletter for that local stationary store can lead to a price reduction for teaching staff, or even free stationary and supplies.

Some businesses will issue vouchers to schools, and when they are sold to students and parents, the teacher and also the school may get a area of the sale price.

Contacting businesses and requesting donations towards the school can also be an ideal way of growing funding levels in school.

3. Student run school enterprises

Selling snacks, ‘renting out’ computer game time in the lunch breaks, selling toys and treats in school can increase funding levels. Older students may become involved in running the shop and learning how to monitor, track and record transactions. The enterprise could be associated with thematic units of work in order to enrich students’ learning experiences. For example, students may learn to attract and gaze after customers by studying one on Advertising. Students may enhance mathematical concepts by learning about percentages and percentage off sales. The options are endless.

4. Saving environmental surroundings – raising money through recycling

Some businesses will buy school items such as old computers and printer ink cartridges and exchange them for money in order to support the educational system.

Dedicating one day per month to recycling and asking parents to donate recyclable items to be resold is definitely an efficient way to create a profit for that school supplies fund. For instance, glass bottles could be sold to recycle plants. Used clothing can be sold on eBay or at school jumble sales.

Used books donated by parents can be sold or exchanged to boost funds for brand new books for students’ classrooms or even the library.

By placing a regular request for such items in the school newsletter, schools can actively promote recycling and raise money.

5. Tax Savings

Teachers can often claim back the price of school supplies with the taxation system. Any items relating to work are often taxing deductible. Often teachers donrrrt know that they can claim for particular items.

This is a selection of items you may be in a position to claim, however, always seek advice from an expert certified accountant and don’t forget the list isn’t exhaustive.

- Books, magazines, textbooks, educational journals

- Pens, paper, diaries, art supplies, stationary

- Home office expenses such as a percentage of electricity bill, rent or mortgage, cable internet bill, cable bill, telephone bill and business furniture

- Computer, printer, laptop, cartridges, USB connections

- Digital cameras

- Hats, sunglasses, sunscreen
