Information About The Education Funding Alliance

The Educational Funding Alliance, Inc. is a program that creates a partnership between local businesses, parents and schools. Basically the program works like this:

The school's sole responsibility is to promote the program to the parents and report the donation amounts back to the EFA each month. There are no fees to join or participate.
Parents are not required to buy anything they don't want or need. They simply go to our website when they have a need and purchase the product or service from one of the businesses in our directory. At the time of purchase they will tell the business they want a donation sent to the school.
At the end of the month each business will total all sales where customers have requested a donation and send one check to the school. An electronic report will be completed showing revenue and donations per school. Once the donation amounts have been entered a marketing fee will be calculated which will be paid to the EFA.
