Fund Raisers Turn to Green Companies for Help

People who run school fund-raising campaigns have discovered new products that do more than just raise money, and companies that sell such products (such as recycled gift wrap) are helping fund-raising programs become more environmentally friendly, reports The Wall Street Journal.

One company that carries green gift products for sale is Greenraising, in Agoura Hills, Calif., which has helped about 500 schools and nonprofit organizations raise money, the newspaper reports. One school in New Hampshire had its most successful campaign in several years, garnering about $2,500, as a result of using the Greenraising catalog.

To read more about how nonprofit groups are turning to environmentally friendly techniques, see this cover article from our most recent issue.
