The Yellow Moon catalogue, which features products to entertain and develop children,
has now raised more than £2.9 million for over 20,000 schools since its launch in
2001.

The catalogue, available in printed and online forms, is used by Parent-Teacher 
Associations (PTAs) and similar groups to raise funds.Every time someone makes a
purchase, they nominate their school to receive cash-back on their order. Products
generate between 5% and 25% in cash-back.

The school is also placed in a biannual free prize draw. A recent winner was Beverley
Minster CE Primary School in East Yorkshire. It will spend the £1,000 prize on an
outbuilding in which the PTFA will store fundraising items for events such as summer
fairs.

The company has just added 400 new products to the catalogue.

Yellow Moon is part of [Baker Ross](http://www.bakerross.co.uk), which provides 
arts, crafts and educational resources to schools and youth groups.

Not that I am obsessed with school fundraising – see my current blog – but it always
pays to break big numbers like this down to get the true picture. On the surface
£2.9 million for 20,000 schools over 8 years looks pretty good. But work out how
much that equates to per school per year and it amounts to £18. Not quite so impressive
huh?
