Help with Donations for NO area school

I'm sorry but so far I have not been having luck with corporate donations. Have you thought about trying to have a different kind of fundraiser? Maybe there are some grants out there that you could apply for since you have dire circumstances. I have no information on that, but perhaps you could talk to a local government office that might help you out. If you really want to try corporate donations, you can print out the lists on other threads of companies who do not donate and also you can do a search on the top left for donations. That might help you find some addresses that you can try. Like I said, the corporate addresses are not working for me but since you are in a different area, maybe it would work for you.

My children's school is just outside of New Orleans. We were not able to host our Fall fundraiser which raises about 10k every year to pay our computer lab teacher (School board budget cannot afford this salary). Every spring we hold a one day fair and silent auction. WE are having to change our auction items from baskets because we are not able to have Room Mothers (classes are condensing continually due to insuffienct student load) and now the companies that donate to our auction ($3k-4k) per year are strapped or gone. I know everyone hates sharing their lists, but we really need the help in contacting national companies, or companies outside of our local location and we are also strapped for people.

Thanks
