Why Save Box Tops for Education for Schools?

General Mills' Box Tops for Education is a program under which labels included on the packaging of some products are worth 10 cents when redeemed by a school. The program was designed as a way for community members to donate to schools without having to spend extra money. To date, more than $340 million worth of box tops have been donated to schools across the country to help pay for school supplies, funding for arts and sports and more. The benefits to saving these small tabs are numerous.
  1. Donate to Schools

    • Whether you live one mile or 1,000 miles from a school, you can mail in box tops to the school to donate money. One benefit is that no extra money needs to be spent; box tops come from the price of every day groceries that many people ordinarily buy anyway. Though each box top is only worth a dime, the money quickly adds up and can help pay for items that schools need to help educate students.

    Find Fundraising Ideas

    • One benefit to collecting box tops is that you gain access to the online community at Box Tops for Education's website. On this website, you can find information about fund-raising ideas for all grade levels. Beyond this, simply collecting box tops can be a good fund raiser: students can learn how to network and ask for donations of more box tops to continue raising money for their school.

    Promote Healthy Competition

    • Many fund raisers are friendly competitions for students, so why should collecting box tops be different? Whether by helping to organize the competition or by simply donating box tops to a school, you can help students learn how to be stronger competitors, more humble people and better winners (or losers) by helping them race to collect the most box tops.

    Get Rewarded for Shopping

    • Box Tops for Education has gone virtual! Now people can collect them by shopping on approved websites. The deal is tantamount to getting cash back while doing online shopping, but instead, the money goes to help a school. Thrifty shoppers can use this to their advantage to do their shopping in the comfort of their own home without sacrificing the benefits that come from buying products with box top labels.
