Other Fundraising & Giving Opportunities
In addition to the Annual Campaign and our Silent Auction Event, there are many opportunities to support the school just by shopping. These simple fundraising opportunities support SVCMS and add up to surprisingly significant amounts.
St. Vrain Community Montessori School earns a percentage of the sales at no cost to you, and it couldn’t be easier!
King Soopers Loyalty Affiliation
All that grocery shopping you're doing can add up to extra money for SVCMS without any additional spending from you! King Soopers has pledged to donate $2.5 million per quarter to participating non-profits in the state of Colorado. Participating organizations have the ability to earn a maximum of $125,000 per quarter. The amount SVCMS earns depends on how much our organization spends compared to the spending of other participating organizations. In other words, the $2.5M will be divided among participating organizations based on a percentage of the total spent.
​
The nice part of this program is how easy it is to participate. You simply need to affiliate your King Soopers card number or Alternate ID (usually your phone number) with SVCMS. Once you do this, SVCMS earns money each time you shop at King Soopers. And you will still continue to earn and keep your own fuel points.
​
Please complete the following steps to affiliate your King Soopers account with SVCMS.
-
If you do not already have a King Soopers account, create one at http://www.kingsoopers.com.
-
Once logged in, click on your name (upper right corner). Next click ‘My Account’. Next click Community Rewards at the bottom of the list.
-
Search for our school by using the code PI953 or search by name St. Vrain Community Montessori School. Assign SVCMS as your beneficiary of points.
-
Then use your registered rewards card (or loyalty phone number) each time you shop. The school will receive a check each quarter based on our community's spending.
​
Scrip
The Scrip program allows nonprofit organization members to purchase Scrip for everyday expenses like food, clothing, and entertainment while earning a percentage of each dollar of SCRIP purchased back in revenue. Scrip is “no selling” fundraising, as participating merchants, both local and national, will make contributions to our school just by purchasing gift cards to the stores you already frequent. Please click here for more information on Scrip. Click here to download the Scrip order form.
​
Lands' End
High-quality clothing with the SVCMS logo is made available through Lands’ End School Uniforms site. Each item purchased with our Preferred School Number (900142936) earns SVCMS up to 3% cash on the net sale, depending on the volume of items purchased. Go to the Lands’ End and set up an account for your family. You will be able to enter separate sizing information for each child. Be sure to enter our Preferred School Number so SVCMS receives credit for the purchases.
For Small Hands Catalog
This catalog, sent home in the fall, features hard-to-find, child-sized tools and toys that encourage self-sufficiency and values consistent with Montessori principles. In early fall, SVCMS places a group order for families who wish to purchase items from the For Small Hands catalog. Shipping is free because of the group order. In the late fall, Guides post wish list items on their E-Giving Tree. Families can purchase these items for their children’s classrooms and look through the catalog for the many wonderful items that their families may enjoy at home or choose as gifts for others. SVCMS receives a 10% merchandise credit for all orders over $25. Please include our school ID number (243230) when you place your order.
