RaiseRight
Earn money with each latté, tank of gas, or grocery run. RaiseRight is the easiest fundraising program you can use to benefit your Grand Ledge music student.
RaiseRight is a gift card purchase program. A percentage of your purchase is rebated: half goes to GLMBA, and half is placed in your student’s reimbursement account. Some physical cards, like Meijer, are reloadable, so you don't have to keep buying them. Many companies also offer electronic gift cards. The RaiseRight app makes it easy to find and purchase e-cards while on the go — download it in the Google Play or Apple store. There are many gift cards available, from restaurants and grocery to department and big box stores.
EXAMPLE: Purchase a $100 Meijer gift card. Currently, there is a 3% rebate on Meijer cards, so $3 is sent to GLMBA: $1.50 goes into your reimbursement account and $1.50 goes to GLMBA. While that does not sound like much, the amount grows as more people use the program and as you buy groceries week after week.
