Through November, shoppers can download the Box Tops app and scan their receipt with Box Tops participating products ranging from breakfast favorites like Cheerios to lunchbox snacks including Nature Valley granola bars and dinner time family favorites like Annie’s Mac & Cheese to be entered to win cash for themselves and their school of choice or a school in need near them.

The easiest way to support teachers this Back-to-School season and throughout the school year is by earning cash for schools via the Box Tops app which has given nearly $1 billion to schools since the program launched more than 25 years ago. More than 80,000 schools are active in the Box Tops app, so participants can support their local school, a family or friend’s school, or choose from schools in need in their area and across the country.

“Since its inception in 1996, Box Tops has always believed that a child’s education is the foundation to achieving their fullest potential,” said Lilly Moeding, brand experience manager for Box Tops for Education. “With parents and teachers spending more and more on school supplies each year, we wanted to help ease that burden by giving shoppers a chance to win $1,000 to help cover those costs for them or a family member and their school of choice.”

As part of General Mills’ ongoing commitment to advance equity in education, this school year Box Tops has committed to giving 14 additional $20,000 donations ($280,000 total) to schools in need across the country. Schools can use the donations to purchase items they need most like computers, library books, school cafeteria equipment or pay off school lunch debt. Through the Schools in Need search feature in the Box Tops app, all shoppers have the opportunity to support schools and students who need it most.
