DealsForSchools.com's Innovative Browser Plug-In Driving Cyber Monday School Donations - Online Holiday Shoppers Can Earn Cash Back for Local PTAs

ATLANTA, Nov. 23, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- DealsForSchools.com, the leading online fundraising source for schools, announced today its recently launched browser plug-in is quickly gaining momentum in time for the busy Cyber Monday online shopping day and holiday shopping season.

Hundreds of DealsForSchools users have downloaded the plug-in since its launch in mid-October. The plug-in works in the browser's background to identify DealsForSchools.com partner products. Once purchased, the retailer sends a percentage of the proceeds to the PTA of the consumer's choice. Users are not required to go back to DealsForSchools.com to perform any action, they simply need to login once to activate the plug-in. "We recently had one shopper who bought a $250 product and our partner merchant sent $50 to their local school organization," says Michael Pate, Co-Founder of DealsForSchools.com. "Once our plug-in gains traction at the district level, local PTAs will benefit from a fundraising vehicle that can raise funds faster and easier than any other available method."

The percentage cash back amount varies from partner to partner, with typical cash back amounts ranging from one to thirty percent of the purchase price of the partner's product or service. Relationship sites Match.com and Chemistry.com are offering DealsForSchools.com cash back of up to 80 percent of the cost of a monthly membership, allowing users to raise a substantial amount of money in a short amount of time.

"We are already seeing great traction for our plug-in after only a few weeks," says Mr. Pate. "More and more consumers are moving to online shopping to avoid the long lines and hassles of brick and mortar stores. By using our unobtrusive browser plug-in, shoppers can also raise a considerable amount of money for their local PTA."

The plug-in works within search results by highlighting products with an apple icon and percentage number that denotes the product is eligible for DealsForSchools.com donations. For more information, and to download the plug-in, visit www.shopdealsforschools.com.
