#Share4Schools offers $3,000 to 13 deserving schools

With school budgets constantly under fire and so many school programs requiring individual fundraising efforts to avoid elimination, it’s more important than ever to have a laser sharp fundraising focus.

#Share4Schools empowers schools to build and mobilize a social network for fundraising. Whether through direct fundraising efforts like donations, a special ask e.g. “Our Cupboards Are Bare! Please help us stock our lunch program,” or by building attendance at a fundraising event such as an auction, spaghetti feed, supply drive, jog-a-thon, car wash or whatever your fundraising programs may be.

The #Share4Schools.com sweepstakes was created to help schools and school affiliated nonprofits integrate social sharing in their fundraising efforts in a fun – and potentially lucrative way. 13 different schools will win cash prizes with no restrictions on how the money can be used. The grand prize of $1,000 will be awarded to one lucky school and most public and private schools are eligible to enter. There are no fees or costs required to enter or win and the process is extremely easy.

The program basics are:

• Schools enter to win ( there is no cost to enter or win and no strings attached )
• Schools can then engage their faculty, parents, friends and community supporters to increase their chances of winning by sharing. Each share from this group of people will count as additional entries for the school.
• The #Share4Schools program will provide educational material to contestants regarding social fundraising including reasons to integrate social media in fundraising efforts, how to build your following, how to present “Asks”, how to amplify the message and more.

This is a simple way for schools to build and rally a social following for fundraising with the potential to win cash prizes. The focus is on engaging their social following to feed all of their fundraising efforts – from gala and auction invitations to car washes or repairing potholes.
