A few years ago I was a PTA president for my munchkin's school.
One of the programs that I ran for the school was the
Box Tops for Education.
It is pretty straight forward, and I liked that. You buy the product that you usually do just save the proof that you bought it ( looks just like this one over the little boy's head), turn it in to the school and the school can redeem it for ten cents.
Pretty cool huh?
Even better, on their website

Even better, on their website
you can register and earn points for the school of your choice.
Hey we buy this stuff anyway, why not make a donation to your munchkin's school as well. Okay so you home school, guess what, they donate to accredited home school programs as well.
Now on the website, when you register, there is a tab at the top that says "marketplace". This is so cool, it is an online fundraising program that allows you to earn cash for your school when you shop online! The school can earn up to $20,000 a year with our online purchases this way! Start thinking Christmas. You can go shopping at hip places like Limited Too (5% donation ), Old Navy.com (2% donation ), FTD.com (7.5% donation), PotteryBarn (3% donation ) & FAO Schwarz (4% donation). They are all located in one spot for total convenience. There are over 70 online stores to choose from even! You just login, click, shop, & earn! Easy, I told you!
I love that I do not have to drive all over shopping, less pollution that way. The items that I buy cover the need of the purchase and benefit my munchkins school. I like that aspect as well. Just try it. You have nothing to loose.
If you love to read like I do, they are starting a new program with Barnes and Nobel as well. It is a program called the Reading Room. In this program your school will earn 6% on your online purchases of new books, including textbooks and magazines. All other purchases, including gift cards, will earn a 3% donation for your school. Again I say Christmas is coming.
Just check out the site, they have coloring pages for the munchkins, recipes, articles about things that families care about. I really think that you will like it. Give it a try.
I am thinking about running a contest with the prize being a gift card to this organization. Is that something you would be interested in? Let me know. Look at the shops on the site and think about it! I will be too!

Thanks for the great info! I knew about the Box Tops thing, just not for Homeschooling?!
Isn't that great! So many companies will not include homeschoolers in their contests and programs,which I think is awful. I am glad to see that one major company was willing to step up and recognize the home school population!
