Frugal Tip #5 - Help your school...Join OneCause

Now this is not a frugal tip that will necessarily save you money; although, it might! Onecause will help you raise a significant amount of money for your school for free! All you, your parents, and fellow faculty members have to do is shop!

Onecause.com is a charity site that has linked with hundreds of sponsors (including Walmart, Target, Snapfish, Best Buy, and more!) to provide you with tons of shopping opportunities. Each time you make a purchase from one of OneCause's sponsors, the sponsor will donate a percentage of your purchase to your school or charity on your behalf! This program is very similar to the Harris Teeter VIC card program where you link your card to your school.

OneCause is amazing! They literally have hundreds of great companies participating and sometimes even offer special discounts and money savers for members! Currently, Snapfish is donating 8% of its proceeds from your purchases to your school! WOW! You cannot beat free money for your school during these hard economic times.

OneCause also makes it very easy to get the word out to your school, parents, PTA, and friends! You can download free fliers and send prewritten evites to all of the people on your contact list. They even offer a free downloadable toolbar! The toolbar allows you to go to websites without signing onto OneCause first. The toolbar automatically tracks your purchases and makes sure you never miss an opportunity to donate to your school! I have downloaded the toolbar and love it! I recently purchased a computer and did not even sign on to OneCause (I forgot!); however, since I had the toolbar downloaded 1% of my purchase was donated to my school! I loved not missing a chance to help my school!

Help your school raise money and save money! Join OneCause.com today and you will begin to realize the earning potential for your school!
