Fun Campaign Ideas to get started
Create a contest to see how many people you can get to sign up on your school's profile page on CommonKindness. You can track who signs up by monitoring the supporters listed on your profile. You can then email your supporters right from the site, using the free email tools to let keep them informed about your fundraising progress.
Print the flyers below and send them home with all of the students in your school to let parents know they can save money and help support your school - at no cost to them!
Challenge your parents to see who can clip the most coupons with CommonKindness for their weekly grocery shop. Send home the Grocery List (below) and ask parents to write down all of the items they clip coupons for using CommonKindness, and send the list back in. Maybe the class that clips the most coupons could win an ice cream party?
Engage local businesses in your community to put coupons for their products and services on CommonKindness to support your school. Many of the businesses may already support the school with donations of money or goods. They may really appreciate the opportunity to increase their sales and get some online exposure for their business! And they get the satisfaction of knowing they are helping your school! Everyone wins!

We did a summer internship with CommonKindness! We learned all about the site and how we can use it to raise funds for our schools, sports teams, clubs and more.
"I'm raising money for my school as part of my community service hours. I'm asking local businesses to post their coupons on CommonKindness to support the school. I'm also creating a Facebook campaign to let people know they can help every time they save money with CommonKindness." -Aidan, age 16
"I am using CommonKindness to raise $1,000 for my crew team. Our boat right now has duct tape patching the holes! I'm asking everyone on our crew team to get their parents and two family friends to clip coupons with CommonKindness to save money for themselves and help us meet our goal." - Alyssa, age 15
"I'm building a campaign to see how many people I can get to go to CommonKindness to clip coupons starting with my own email list of about 150 people. I'm asking them all to tell 10 friends about CommonKindness.com. I'll let you know how fast it grows!" - Rowan, age 13
"I am raising $300 to get new uniforms for my swim team. I've asked everyone on the team to get their friends and families involved - including grandparents and aunts and uncles who may live out of state. They can help, too, and save money at the same time!" - Hailey, age 14
