One of the primary responsibilities of the Edison Parent Council is to raise funds to enrich the educational lives of our children. We offer many diverse ways for families and the community to support Edison, enabling people to choose the manner and amount of support. We raise funds through pledges (e.g. Jog-a-thon), sales, raffles, “free money” (eScrip and Box Tops), auction events, and direct giving.PLEASE consider donating any amount, large or small. This money goes directly to pay for incredibly valuable staff hours. These staff support our students with reading and math instruction, playground supervision, and classroom support. These staff this year are funded through dollars raised last year. If we are unable to raise enough funds, we may lose these wonderful staff next year.
There are two ways to give:
Online: Go to https://eugeneeducationfoundation. salsalabs.org/edison to make a one-time or recurring donation.
Check or Cash: Bring a check (made out to Edison Elementary) or cash to the Edison office.
All donations are tax deductible (Tax ID # 93-6000566) and make a direct impact on the great kids in our wonderful school. Thank you to the families and friends who have donated already!
eScrip
This is the easiest way to help raise money for our school. It is free for all donors who register for the program and participants do not need to live in Eugene or even Oregon to be earning money for the school. Encourage your friends, neighbors and relatives to support Edison this way.
How it Works
Register any one or all of your existing grocery loyalty, debit and credit cards for use in the program. Participating merchants will make contributions to Edison, based on purchases made by you, just by using the cards you have registered. There are no receipts to collect, no vouchers or certificates to buy, no hassles for you and every purchase counts. Your purchases are tracked and available to you online, allowing you to see just how much you are earning on your child’s behalf!

Traditional Box Tops clips are being phased out of production, but may continue to be found on many products throughout the store. You can still clip and send them to school.
Every valid Box Tops clip is worth 10¢ for your school. Make sure each one has a clearly visible product acronym and expiration date.
Eventually the Box Tops program will become digital-only. Participating brands are starting to change their packaging from a traditional Box Tops clip to the new Box Top label. If you see this label, use the new Box Tops app to scan your receipt. Box Tops are still worth 10¢ each for your school. The app will find participating products purchased at any store and instantly add cash to your school’s earnings online.
