Electronic
Fund Raising
Electronic fund-raising organizations make it easy for large companies to donate money to non-profit organizations. When you sign up for participation in the organizations below, you will help generate money for the school that comes from other companies (not from your own pocket!). Every family spends significant money on food each month, and no matter where you shop for your food, it is almost certain that one or more of these programs will apply. Just imagine generating hundreds of dollars per year for our school just by shopping for your family! Please use the links below to find information on:
E-Scrip:
There are hundreds of local and national companies that participate in the e-scrip program. Everytime you use one of your registered Credit Cards (e.g. MasterCard or Visa), or Debit Cards (e.g. your bank's ATM card) at one of these stores, the store will donate a percentage of your purchase price to the Charter Foundation.
Local participating stores include: Safeway, Macy's, Big-O Tires, Fircrest Market, Petaluma Market, Round Table Pizza (click here for the merchant list).
Please note that Whole Foods is now running its own scrip program. You can purchase gift cards in the SICS office and 4% of your purchases will go directly to the Foundation.
How to Sign Up Use:
1. Have your credit and debit (atm/bank) cards ready.
2. Goto the e-scrip web site, and click on the "sign-up" button near the top of the page.
3. Choose the Charter Foundation as your organization (Group ID: 137346502, zip code: 95473 )
4. Save your password for this site so you can return to it to check on your account.
5. Update your cards with new expiry dates every September.
6. To Use - just pay for your items with your registered Credit or Debit cards - It's EASY!
Community SMART Card:
This is a separate card that you receive in the mail. At selected stores you present this card at time of the sale. You make your purchase using whatever method you choose (cash, credit card, check), and the SMART card helps track that sale and gives a small percentage to the Foundation.
Local participating stores include: Copperfields Books,
How to Sign Up and Use:
1. Go to the Community SMART web site and click on the "sign-up" button"
2. The cost of the card is $4.95 to cover shipping and handling. This is a one-time fee.
3. To Use - at the participating stores, simply hand them the SMART card along with your payment.
4. (Note - some stores require a minimum purchase for this program to work).
The CF has cards available in the office. If the $4.95 fee is a hardship, we can waive that and give you a card to use right away.
School Pop:
The School POP program is now called OneCause. Click on the link below to sign up. Then, when you shop on line, go to the OneCause site before linking to the other shopping sites. There is also some sort of automated browser application you can get to make these even easier.
