brendafromtenn Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Does anyone know how we would go about setting up a "Box Tops for Education" account for my homeschool group? Does anyone have a # that I could call? Blessings, Brenda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prairie~Phlox Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Just want to say good luck. I've heard of other homeschool groups collecting boxtops, but when I inquired about it, was told we couldn't. I think from what I've read, you need a certain tax # in order to prove that you are a "certified" school. Phlox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liz Mc in SC Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 From what I can tell your association will have to apply thru the web site. It states: The Box Tops for Education program is available to the following schools: Any accredited public, private or parochial school, for grades K-8, in the United States that is organized and primarily operated for educational purposes. United States military schools, for grades K-8, worldwide. Accredited home school associations, K-8, in the United Sates that are organized and operated primarily for educational purposes and have 15 or more students.

Angela in TN Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Our homeschool support group collect boxtops for education. Here are some other ways we raise money. Collecting Campbells soup labels, recycling used printer cartridges and cell phones, having people sign up through ibakesale.com and when you buy through the links on the site your group gets some money (think upromise). Some of the grocery stores around here give your school money if you sign up your "bonus card" for the certain school. I know Food City does it and Kroger. You may need to check your local grocery stores. They also did something where they sold hexbugs and got a great profit on that. Hope that helps.

Adrianne Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Our co-op just recently started collecting box tops. I think the lady in charge just went to the website and got a phone number. I know we don't have a special tax # and we were able to sign up. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ann@thebeach Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 The group I used to be in also collected box tops and soup labels. We got sports equipment and a big box of legos that I know of. It's worth the effort IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emily in FL Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 You do have to call. Here is the info from the website. If your school does not participate in Box Tops for Education, ask your school principal or administrator to enroll in the program by calling 1-888-799-2444, 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. CST, seven days a week. We are a pretty small group, (about 20 families) and have done better each year collecting box tops. The check that they send is made out to your group so you may need a checking account for the group to cash it. We also collect Campbell's labels, but haven't purchased anything with them yet.
