Corporate Donations

Do you work for a company that might interested into donating to FOA?  The donation is tax deductible as FOA is a non-profit.
If you work for or know someone who works for a company that would be willing to assist Oasis Academy as the school gears up to open, please contact Carrie at friendsofoasisacademy@gmail.com.

We now have a corporate letter that we can mail out if you provide a contact name and address.  We truly appreciate the support of the community!

No Fuss Fundraiser

Hopefully by now, most of you have heard about the "No Fuss Fundraiser" - this is our big fundraiser outside of Scrip for this year so we hope you will participate. For those who have seen the school, we have a lot of space to fill!

Please take a moment to see if you are able to contribute. A form is due from each family by JULY 1ST, even if you are unable to donate at this time. There are three ways to turn in your family's form:

• Drop it off up at the school on 6/14, 6/16, 6/21 or 6/23 from 11:30 to 12:30 PM
• Email it to friendsofoasisacademy@gmail.com
• Mail it to Friends of Oasis Academy, Inc. PO Box 6322, Fallon, NV 89407

The Friends of Oasis Academy, Inc. No Fuss Fundraiser
Donation Form

Many parents are tired of selling wrapping paper, cookie dough, magazines, etc. and would like to avoid pressure to stretch orders to reach a prize level. Direct contribution fundraisers allow 100% of the funds we receive to benefit our students. This method of fundraising is only successful if parents contribute generously and we hope you will!

We are asking each family to contribute to the No Fuss Fundraiser at a level with which they feel comfortable. Not making a donation will in no way affect your enrollment. This is a free public school but we would appreciate any help you can give us with our initial costs. Please make checks payable to Friends of Oasis Academy.

Because I don’t have the time or energy to rearrange my closets to store all that wrapping paper, we will donate

Scrip!

We are very excited to continue The Friends of Oasis Academy’s (FOA) fundraiser – Scrip!  What is Scrip and why is it so great?

_

Scrip is a popular fundraiser because families don’t have to sell anything.  Organization members produce revenue by making regular household purchases they would make anyway.  Groceries, clothing, toys, gifts, even gasoline can be purchased with scrip.  Each card purchased carries an associated “contribution” of 2-15% or more.
_

That’s right!  You can purchase Scrip for the stores you make regular purchases at and it benefits Oasis Academy!  You do not pay any extra for scrip cards, you buy them at face value and get to spend the entire amount purchased.  The merchants then graciously send back a percentage of that card to the school.  Each merchant determines their own amount given back to the school.  For example, Old Navy gives back 14%, you buy their card for $100, you spend the $100 and Oasis Academy gets a rebate of $14.  It really is that simple  While we recognize purchasing and using Scrip will take some additional planning on your part, using Scrip not only benefits the school, it also might benefit your family’s budget.
