Bake sales, magazine subscriptions, cookie dough, gift-wrap, coupon books, auctions, scrip, collecting empty cans\u2026kids pitching their school\u2019s fundraising requests seem to come in every shape and size. (Remember the different size and style Weeples \u2013 those fluffy things with googly eyes glued to plastic feet \u2013 that were offered as prizes based on the amount of money brought in?)<\/p>\n

So this holiday season, Yahoo! Homepages for Homerooms<\/a> is taking the sales pitch out of the fundraiser and making it easy to earn money for the teachers and projects that matter to you most. Just make Yahoo! your homepage in support of a teacher\u2019s project<\/a> on DonorsChoose.org, and you\u2019ll help give that teacher a chance at getting project funding \u2013 and you won\u2019t feel obligated to add to your holiday caloric intake by baking flavorless frozen cookie dough.<\/p>\n

Yahoo! enables good deeds to grow exponentially by giving its millions of users a broad platform to rally around causes. Through the Homepage for Homerooms program, Yahoo! is helping good deeds grow among communities supporting their local teachers and schools. Yahoo! will donate a minimum of $125,000 to teacher projects (up to $600 per project) and up to $350,000 over a 5-week period (Nov 19 \u2013 Dec 23), for every homepage set to Yahoo!.<\/p>\n

Yahoo! is a trusted brand on the Web, providing families with resources for parents and educators on safely.yahoo.com, (partnering with internationally known safety experts like iKeepSafe and CommonSense Media), and is committed to fostering safer online experiences for children. DonorsChoose.org is a reputable education non-profit that has made significant impact on schools, having helped raise over $68M in funding for U.S. public schools.<\/p>\n

By participating, teachers can receive supplies like classroom cameras, computers, new books and basketballs for their students \u2013 just in time for the new calendar year. In turn, you\u2019ll be rewarded with one of the best places to stay up-to-date on world, national, local, sports, and popular culture news \u2013 like what the latest fundraising trend is \u2013 with no subscription necessary.<\/p>\n

Talk to your teacher about it today.<\/a> And for nostalgia\u2019s sake, perhaps someone will get you a Weeple stocking stuffer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
