Raise Funds By Promoting Green

Forget those cavity-loving candy bars: Schools, organizations, clubs, and non-profits of any size can raise up to $15,000 by selling Fundraising Green's myGreenSpark Redemption Book, a collection of discount coupons to 150 eco-friendly businesses-both local and online-including home goods, clothing, food, and pet supplies.

Printed with soy ink on 100 percent recycled paper, each $30 (plus tax and shipping) book promises thousands of dollars in savings. Not only does your school or organization get to keep 40-to-50 percent of the purchase price, but another 10 percent of the profits also goes toward environmental causes.

Besides providing an easy and educational way for money-strapped groups to raise some dough, Fundraising Green wants to use its green coupons to help people make healthy and ethical choices regarding eco-friendly and fair-trade products and services. "Incremental change is key and it all starts at the consumer level," the company says on its Web site. "We know that until we buy green, we won't be green." ::Fundraising Green and ::myGreenSpark
