Carnegie Cash for Schools

HELP US help your child's school.

We know schools are often required to raise money (or ask families to help raise money) to meet the costs of providing high-quality educational experiences to complement school curricula.  Now there's a way to earn funds to help you meet these and other costs, with a program that benefits your school, its families, and most importantly, your students. With Carnegie Cash for Schools, you can raise funds for your school by partnering with Carnegie Museums of Pittsburgh.

Simply encourage your school families, teachers, staff, neighbors, or friends to purchase a membership to Carnegie Museums—or renew an existing membership.  Your school automatically will receive $10 for each new membership and $5 for each renewal membership purchased—gift memberships included—when your school is identified as a Carnegie Cash for Schools participant.

Anyone can help raise money for your school through Carnegie Cash for Schools… parents, alumni, friends, neighbors, grandparents, out-of-town relatives, anyone you can think of.

And if you wish to support the Pittsburgh Public Schools, for every new membership purchased we'll donate $10 to The Pittsburgh Promise, and $5 for every renewed Membership to The Pittsburgh Promise, a program that funds college scholarships for graduates.

Students do no selling and collect no money… so they remain free to concentrate on learning. Meanwhile, your school community feels good because they are supporting three great causes: their own families, your school, and the Carnegie Museums of Pittsburgh, one of our community's great treasures.
