Recycling Fundraising Donation Goal: Oct. 2012 thru May 2013

Click on GLAD's FundingFactory Goal Page to view our progress.  We hope to earn at least $330 from FundingFactory donations of used printer cartridges, small electronics, laptops to be recycled by the end of May 2013.  Please be a part of our success.  If you are a business, you can sign up, designate GLAD as the recipient of your donations, and obtain free UPS shipping labels from FundingFactory.  GLAD's FundingFactory ID# 104044.  Recycle and help GLAD today!

Please contact us if your business, organization, church, or group would like to hold a recycling items collection drive for GLAD!  Great idea if you want to do something for national "Make a Difference Day" on October 27th!

Out-of-town and Looking For a Great Fundraiser?

Okay, just remember, we're not looking for local competition on the recycling thing!  But, if you are a school,  library, or non-profit OUTSIDE of Grenada...please check out  http://www.fundingfactory.com/.  They provide free shipping labels...you collect and ship used printer cartridges, old cell phones, replaced electronics, etc. and get $$ in return.  (Or, businesses can ship directly using the free labels and specify that your organization earn the donation.)

If you decide to sign up, please list GLAD (ID# 104044) as the referring organization at the time that you register your organization.  We'll get greatly appreciated bonus points that equal real money, especially if they receive your first shipment of recycling items before the end of 2012.
