Funding Factory





Over the past 4 years here at Youth Elementary we have been contributing to an on-going recycling program called the Funding Factory. Students will bring in their old cell phones and used ink cartridges to the gym. I will box up those items and send them off to Erie, Pennsylvania where they will be collected. In return, the Funding Factory will send our school money to purchase new PE equipment. As of right now, we have raised approximately 10,000 dollars....which has replenished our equipment room and more than tripled it in size. I usually do different contests throughout the year to motivate the students to bring in items to recycle: The PizzaBus, Parties at JumpZone, Raffles for Prizes, and many others. I highly recommend using this company to generate funds. It is very low-maintainence, and the customer service ladies are as nice as you can find anywhere. If you do decide to join the Funding Factory feel free to use my refferal ID# 45631. Their website is http://www.fundingfactory.com/ - if anything, check it out and see for yourself!
