Back2Tap's Green Fundraising, help the environment and help your school at the same time!

Fundraising has gone green. Groups are no longer selling candy bars or wrapping paper. Instead, they're choosing something that is not only environmentally friendly to the end-user, but also helps schools in need. Back2Tap's custom Reusable stainless steel water bottles as well as their reusable sandwich wraps and pouches, for instance, are a hot, new green fundraising choice. The products are a high-quality, unique option for schools wishing to go green. We donate five percent of our profits to assist in providing clean water to needy schools.
The state of the environment today has become a hot news topic discussed by government agencies, corporations, and schools. Television commercials depict car companies striving for the "greenest" automobile. Corporations are extending efforts to develop environmentally friendly products and reduce potentially harmful emissions or waste. Whether it's an employee recycling program or students planting trees, everyone's doing their part to protect the environment. We believe that school fundraising can help students help the environment and help themselves at the same time!
One of the hardest parts of fundraising is keeping up with the administrative duties. Back2Tap offers online ordering to drastically reduce these duties, leaving more time to focus on selling. The program is profitable, earning your school 20-30% on each sale. The bottles practically sell themselves in that the average family of four can save over $125 a year just by switching to reusable stainless steel bottles.
Today 38 billion plastic bottles and an astounding 380 billion plastic bags are dumped in landfills each year. Reusable stainless steel water bottles are not only good for the environment, they're good for you. They are BPA-free and don't leach harmful chemicals into your beverage. What is a BPA free bottle?
This green fundraising project can be the kick-off for a greener school, particularly when used in conjunction with Back2Tap's educational resources. Every little change helps, and when the whole school - the whole community - gets involved, it can really make a difference.

How does Green fundraising help you/the environment?

raise money for your child's school or sports teamYour organization needs to raise money, but you don't want to do the usual candy sale. The regular fundraising efforts are becoming stale and ineffective, so you want to do something unique. You want to do something that reaches beyond your own organization, into your community and beyond. But what?

green fundraising is not all that new, but it definitely is hot right now. And why shouldn't it be? According to http://www.benefits-of-recycling.com, Americans dispose of so much aluminum every month that the same amount could be used "to rebuild our entire commercial air fleet." Recycling one ton of paper saves the equivalent amount of energy "to power the average American home for five months." The United States manufactures enough plastic to shrink wrap the state of Texas, and the number of plastic bottles thrown out each year could encompass the globe four times.

Sounds overwhelming, doesn't it? However, if just one person switches to a reusable bottle, rather than plastic, it is estimated that 167 bottles will be saved from landfills,
Back2Tap, is a company that offers green fundraising solutions

fundraising program, a quick guide to getting started!

Put your school's/organizations logo on a stainless steel bottleBefore you begin a green fundraising program in your community, you should first educate yourself. The Back2Tap web site is filled with resources, including a video, campaign flyer, campaign kick-off guide, and Fundraising Coordinator Kit. Because your fundraising initiative helps the community and the environment, you should have no problem getting others involved. Including local school systems is beneficial due to the large audience with an integral understanding of the need to educate in order to produce a change in behavior. You can involve your community's environmental commission or similar department, which can help with publicity for your program. You can also encourage your town mayor to join in the initiative as well as the local Recreation Department, which is probably already dealing with excessive plastic waste after ball games.
We recommend kicking off your green fundraising activity with a environmental event, such as a community Green Fair or a school field day or even on Earth Day. Presenting and promoting your ideas and your plan to school districts will help ensure a profitable fundraiser as well as community involvement for a cleaner town. Back2Tap even provides a sample presentation in their campaign kick-off guide.
