How Pull Tabs for Charity Raises Funds
Pull Tabs for Charity primarily raises funds by sponsoring semi-annual fund raising events in the Washington DC Metropolitan area.
PTFC also raises funds by sponsoring an ongoing aluminum pull tab recycling program, which initially began in 2006 with the cooperation and support of a generous local metal recycling company, the Montgomery Scrap Corporation (an ISRI Member Company). Thankfully, “
Although, it does take a considerable amount of pull tabs for any individual to raise a lot of money, it’s the collective amount that can be raised by many supporters that really counts. Indeed, this is the model that our business plan follows and why we spend the bulk of our energies focusing on organizations, businesses, K-12 schools, and universities who can easily satisfy our 10 lb minimum quantity (required for processing by terms of our formal alliance with ISRI).
Therefore, individual supports and the amounts they collect are critically important to the success of our ongoing efforts. Besides, the Pull Tabs For Charity organization believes that raising awareness (especially amongst children) of the merits of simply giving to others is equally as important in today’s world.
Please consider purchasing one of our colorful and reusable PTFC Recycling Containers to help us defray our administrative costs (put one in your Shopping Cart). In fact, the nominal $4.00 profit we realize per transaction (after we pay for shipping) helps us remain in the black.
Similarly, you may also make a contribution by purchasing one of our water-resistant oval stickers. Likewise, even downloading one of our free oval graphics helps us a great deal given the importance of positive word of mouth publicity.
