We can't do this without you

Please help keep CHN's membership free by supporting us through our fundraisers. CHN uses funds raised from these endeavors to pay for administrative costs such as maintaining our website, the message board, the newsletter service, providing libraries with written materials about us, etc. CHN currently offers several very easy ways for you to financially help support homeschooling in CT, and the opportunity to help in other ways as well.

Click on the tote bag to purchase clothing, tote bags, mugs and baseball caps with artwork saying "Learning begins at home" along with CHN's website address. Tell the whole world that you are proud to be part of Connecticut's homeschooling community!
 

Newman's Own Organics collects used ink jet cartridges and pays up to $4.00 for each one donated. Newman's has made it very easy by providing us with postage paid envelopes which are bar-coded to ensure credit for our group. So donating to CHN in this manner is as easy as dropping your cartridge in a postage-paid envelope and mailing it off. Please contact Carrie and she'll get some to you right away.

Newman's Organic Chocolates are available for your pleasure. These delectable treats are only $1.00 each. Purchase a few to have for yourself, or if you are willing to sell candy to raise funds for CHN, you can purchase a box for $24 to then sell to your friends and neighbors. Plop a box like this on your desk at your place of work; these pieces of heaven sell themselves.

We have chocolate bars in the following flavors:

• Milk Chocolate
• Butter Toffee Milk Chocolate
• Crispy Rice Milk Chocolate
• Sweet Dark
• Orange Sweet Dark
• Espresso Sweet Dark Chocolate

We are also offering chocolate cups in the following flavors:

• Peanut Butter / Milk Chocolate
• Peanut Butter / Dark Chocolate
• Mint Dark Chocolate
• Caramel Dark Chocolate
• Caramel Milk Chocolate

There are 24 candies in each box. Mix and match flavors to create your own box, but note that cups and bars cannot be mixed in the same box.

Thanks to Newman's own, your chocolate purchase supports not only CHN, but the rainforest as well, since 3% of all of our sales goes toward purchasing an acre of the rainforest!

Newman's Own Organics will also pay CHN $1.00 for each cell phone we collect, no matter how old it is. Many companies take only certain phones and no accessories, but with their emphasis on recycling, Newman's accepts all offerings. Many people change phones every year or so, and have unused phones stashed in a drawer somewhere...please put them to  great use for CHN. Contact Carrie to arrange your cell phone donations.

If you make purchases from Amazon.com, please link through to it from our website each time you do. Once you are through you can buy any item you like, either directly from Amazon, from their third party sellers, or from Amazon Marketplace sellers, and CHN will receive a percentage of the price you pay for your item(s).

The items do not necessarily need to have anything to do with homeschooling or education. For example they can be clothing items, kitchenware, or even appliances! Anything you put into your shopping cart, and within 24 hours finalize that transaction, will result in CHN receiving a portion of your purchase price.

Items you place in your shopping cart will remain there after 24 hours, however CHN will no longer get credit for them. So if you are inclined to do so, you can write down the item numbers for the items in your shopping cart, empty your shopping cart, return to our website to link through to Amazon, and simply type in the item numbers you've written down to re-order those items with CHN in mind.

Additionally, your purchases are totally confidential. Amazon does not disclose who purchases items through the CHN link, even to CHN itself; Amazon secures your privacy.

So please consider bookmarking CHN's website as your Amazon portal, and start all of your Amazon shopping here.

If you use any of these items, please consider saving the "Boxtops for Education"  to help earn funds for CHN.  Neatly clip the box tops from the packaging and send them to us in bundles of 50. You can either bundle them with a rubber band or send them in a small plastic bag. Then simply pop them into an envelope and send them to CHN.

CHN will be reimbursed 10 cents for each box top you clip and send to us. Those little box tops can really add up. It’s easy and it’s an effortless way to donate to CHN.

Finally, although CT Homeschool Network does not charge its members dues, we would never be foolish enough to turn down a donation! Please  remember all monetary donations to CHN are fully tax deductible. If you feel you can help CHN in supporting its mission to inform, empower, and foster community among home educators in the state of Connecticut, please send monetary donations to:

Can't afford to support CHN financially? You can also help out by donating your time. We need volunteers for a variety of tasks and help is always appreciated! If you would like to lend a hand, please contact us.

Thank you for doing your part in helping CHN support homeschoolers throughout Connecticut.
