$5 Million Challenge Grant to RI
Schools!
We
are offering dollar for dollar matching
grants for the benefit of RI schools and students for any funds
they may raise from individual, classroom or school-wide fundraisers
for the Feinstein annual campaigns to help the needy.
This is a great way for schools and teachers to get extra money for
their students’ benefit and to encourage their youngsters to
participate in helping the needy.
Teachers may ask their students to do a classroom fundraiser (i.e.
lemonade stand, penny drive, car wash, etc.) for the Feinstein
Campaign for
the Needy, or principals can put on a school-wide fundraiser to raise
funds for it. Upon receipt of the funds raised, we will send a check
payable to the donating school in the same amount, for use as its
principal and/or the teacher(s) involved in the fundraising deem best!
Checks sent to us must be raised solely for the Feinstein Campaign for
the Needy and made out that way.
Checks must be received by May 15,2007. Our
matching checks will be sent to participating schools within one week
of our receipt of theirs. Multiple donations from any school
should be mailed together in one envelope, no more than once
per month.
All
donations received go 100% to non profit agencies helping the needy.
We take NO administrative or any other fees from the donations we
receive.
