How to Boost Your Fundraiser This Back-to-School Season

How to Boost Your Fundraiser This Back-to-School Season

, by Planet Green, 2 min reading time

The new school year brings fresh opportunities — not just for students and parents, but for your fundraiser too. Whether you're a school, nonprofit, church, scout troop, or community group, back-to-school season is the perfect time to engage families and remind them that recycling and buying ink through your Planet Green Recycle Program ID helps your cause.

Why This Time of Year Matters

  • Families are restocking supplies. That means they’re buying ink - and tossing old cartridges.

  • Printers are in demand. Homework, permission slips, and class forms all need printing - and that means more ink use at home.

  • People are spending. Why not guide some of that spending toward your cause?

What to Say to Your Supporters

Use simple reminders like:

Back-to-school costs add up - here’s one way to save money AND support our cause: Recycle your ink cartridges and buy replacements through Planet Green Recycle using our Program ID!

Or:

If you're stocking up on ink for the school year, don’t pay full price - shop recycled and support us at the same time.”

Quick Tips to Maximize Results

  • Post weekly reminders to keep it top of mind.

  • Mention your Program ID clearly so purchases and recycling count.

  • Include a link to www.planetgreenrecycle.com and encourage others to check it out.

Let’s Make It Count

Back-to-school season only comes once a year - use it to remind your community that small actions like recycling cartridges and buying remanufactured ink can make a big impact. It’s free, easy, and supports your cause every step of the way.
