Support HGF PTA with Amazon Smile

Did you know that through Amazon Smile you can set up a charitable donation to the HGF PTA?

 You can use your current Amazon account and there is not cost to you. Here is everything you need to know about Amazon Smile:

What is AmazonSmile?

AmazonSmile is a simple and automatic way for you to support your favorite charitable organization every time you shop, at no cost to you. When you shop at smile.amazon.com, you’ll find the exact same low prices, vast selection and convenient shopping experience as Amazon.com, with the added bonus that Amazon will donate a portion of the purchase price to your favorite charitable organization. You can choose from nearly one million organizations to support. 

How do I shop at AmazonSmile?

To shop at AmazonSmile simply go to smile.amazon.com from the web browser on your computer or mobile device. You may also want to add a bookmark to smile.amazon.com to make it even easier to return and start your shopping at AmazonSmile. 

Which products on AmazonSmile are eligible for charitable donations?

Tens of millions of products on AmazonSmile are eligible for donations. You will see eligible products marked “Eligible for AmazonSmile donation” on their product detail pages. Recurring Subscribe-and-Save purchases and subscription renewals are not currently eligible. 

Can I use my existing Amazon.com account on AmazonSmile?

Yes, you use the same account on Amazon.com and AmazonSmile. Your shopping cart, Wish List, wedding or baby registry, and other account settings are also the same. 

How do I select a charitable organization to support when shopping on AmazonSmile?

On your first visit to AmazonSmile (smile.amazon.com), you need to select a charitable organization to receive donations from eligible purchases before you begin shopping. We will remember your selection, and then every eligible purchase you make at smile.amazon.com will result in a donation. 

How much of my purchase does Amazon donate?

The AmazonSmile Foundation will donate 0.5% of the purchase price from your eligible AmazonSmile purchases. The purchase price is the amount paid for the item minus any rebates and excluding shipping & handling, gift-wrapping fees, taxes, or service charges. From time to time, we may offer special, limited time promotions that increase the donation amount on one or more products or services or provide for additional donations to charitable organizations. Special terms and restrictions may apply. Please see the relevant promotion for complete details. 

Can I receive a tax deduction for amounts donated from my purchases on AmazonSmile?

1st Annual "No Sale" Fundraiser

For years Highland-Goffe’s Falls PTA has relied on the generosity of its families and community members.  We work hard to develop programs and provide educational opportunities for all of our students.  We are asking for your help once again to reach our fundraising goal.

If each student raises only $35 we will reach our $17,500 goal by the end of October!

Here are some of the items your donations provide:

• ·         $5,000 for a 3^rd-5^th grade literacy intervention program
• ·         $5,500 for field trips and 5^th grade celebration
• ·         $3,700 for classroom library texts
• ·         $875 for agenda books and communication folders
• ·         $500 for birthday books

We have made it very easy for you to support your PTA.  There is no need to sell anything to friends or coworkers.  No need to deliver products.  Simply complete the form at the bottom of the page and return it to your child’s classroom teacher.  Only one form is necessary. 

GREAT NEWS … you are also able to make a secure tax-deductible donation online (click the donate button at the bottom of this page). You can even set up an automatic payment if you would prefer to donate in monthly installments.

Because HGF PTA is a 501c3 non-profit organization, your donation may be entirely tax deductible.  We will also accept any corporate matching contributions. (Tax id #51-0509287)

The top 3 classrooms that raise the most money as a percentage of their

class room goal will be awarded a supply of playground equipment.

TinyOwl Fundraiser - Orders Due 9/25

As you have seen from the flier sent home by PTA President Stacey Weigler last week, the PTA will not be running a traditional catalog fundraiser this Fall. Instead we will be appealing to the school community to make a direct contribution to the Highland Goffe's Falls PTA. HGF PTA is a 5012 (c)3 organization which means your donation is tax deductible. More information about this "No Sale" fundraising program will be sent out  next week.

For those interested in other fundraising methods, we have entered into a year-long partnership with TinyOwl. TinyOwl is a gift company that enables you to upload photographs and purchase personalized keepsake items. The gift card order form was sent home last Thursday.

If you need another copy, please contact Beth or Stacey immediately.

TinyOwl also allows us to create custom folders specific to HGF that can be shared with parents. For instance, by group, team, classroom or event.

TinyOwl gift cards for $15 or $20 are available for purchase now through Friday, September 25th through the paper order form.

As you may know, funds raised by the PTA this year will be going toward enriching our selection of reading texts for intervention programs and classrooms, along with providing funds for field trips.
