I apologize for being late in offering this but I thought itmight work for some of you. This is the link to my favorite donation service when I am shopping online. Although I use an animal shelter as the primary recipient of my donations, there are many public schools listed, and it is very easy to add your own. I have been using it for a year and a half. Each store sets its own percentage, but they often have specials where they increase the percentage for a week or so. They always let me know when the checks are going out, and they are definitely more than once a year. I don't know the exact schedule but I get notices at least 3 or 4 times a year. http://www.igive.com/welcome/ Sharon Sharon M.
