Nevada PTA has partnered with Americas Schools Program to promote passive fundraising while protecting the environment. Why do we call it passive fundraising? Because most of us spend money on most of these products anyway. There is no door to door sales. The next time you buy coffee or printer cartridges just do it online through Americas School and passively give education in Nevada a donation.

ASP has developed special programs to fund K-12 extracurricular activities in conjunction with leading manufacturers and service providers. Whenever you see a product or service bearing the America's Schools Program mark, you can tell that a part of your purchase will go to help K-12 programs. Please support the companies that support our schools. Given below are brief descriptions of our programs. Follow the links to get more details and to see how you can become a "Team Member."

 ASP Recycling Program

The America's Schools Inkjet/Toner and Cell Phone Recycling Program is a cost-free, hassle-free way you can recycle your used printer cartridges and cell phones to help the environment and help your schools. Each cartridge or cell phone is typically worth $1 (some are worth up to $30). To date, hundreds of businesses, schools, chambers of commerce, non-profits and government agencies have joined in this national program.

SchoolHouse Coffee Program 

This is a simple and new revenue source for Chambers of Commerce, booster clubs, schools and PTAs. SchoolHouse Gourmet Coffee, an official partner of ASP, has been featured at many PTA events.
