FAQ

3. What can I do to begin fundraising for my school?

There is currently available a printable flyer and coming soon brochures and posters will be available in PDF in the Forms section of the SST Fund site. These describe the program and direct potential donors to the website where they can make a donation.

4. Do I have to donate to a specific school?

No, you can donate to the SST Fund without naming a school. The Foundation's Board of Directors will direct the money to existing or start-up programs.

5. Can I donate something other than money?

We only accept donations of cash through credit cards, debit cards, checks, and "in kind" donations of stocks or bonds that are publicly traded or readily convertible to cash.

Please contact Information@scholasticshootingtrust.org to arrange for a donation of stocks and bonds.
