Matching donations through P.A.T.H.S
The P.A.T.H.S nonprofit organization was recently launched by Dan Hodge, a Troop 19 ASM, to support Scouting in our area. Donations made to P.A.T.H.S that reference Troop 120 will come to our Troop to support our Scouts. The main advantage with this method of giving is corporate matching gifts. If your company matches, this is an excellent way to make the most of your giving. Also, if your company matches volunteer time, you can direct that to P.A.T.H.S as well!

RaiseRight allows you to buy gift cards and eGift cards to use like cash at stores you would shop at anyway. But by purchasing the cards, Troop 120 gets anywhere from 2% - 15% back as a donation. Even better, you can use any money you raise for scouting expenses like High Adventure or Summer Camp. Some Troop 120 parents have raised hundreds or even thousands of dollars through RaiseRight. Here is how to use it:
Enroll with the following link: https://www.raiseright.com/enroll?enrollCode=436A6B7D65864
Best to link your RaiseRight account with a bank account to avoid the credit card fees when purchasing cards.
Buy gift cards! Look for special deals when they pay even more back.
Install the RaiseRight application on your phone so you can always access your wallet. Bring up the gift card bar code and scan it at retailers.
