Passive Fundraising
Passive fundraisers are another way to support Magellan Partners in Education (MaP) and the Magellan Charter School. They often ask families to register and designate what school or non-profit organization they would like to support, and do not cost any extra money on behalf of Mariner families. Below are passive fundraising opportunities for MaP and Magellan in which we currently participate.
- Box Tops for Education
The Box Tops program is changing to an online program where Box Tops are scanned through their mobile app. You can download the Box Tops app (listed as Box Tops for Education) from the App Store, shop as you normally would, then simply scan your store receipts to find participating products. The app will automatically calculate MaP’s Box Tops earnings online and will send the school a check twice a year! There are still Box Tops to be clipped from products! Box Tops can be turned in at the front office. Please include your student’s grade for the Box Tops grade level contest.
Click here for Box Tops information.
- AmazonSmile
Did you know that when you shop on AmazonSmile, you can generate money for the Magellan Charter School? Simply shop with your existing Amazon account through AmazonSmile and designate Magellan Charter School as your charitable organization. Then whenever you shop Amazon through AmazonSmile, Magellan will receive 0.5% of your eligible purchase dollars.

- Harris Teeter VIC Card
Harris Teeter’s Together In Education program gives schools a chance to earn funds when you link your VIC card and shop Harris Teeter brands. When you shop Harris Teeter brands, a percentage of your purchase is donated to MaP. Link your Harris Teeter VIC card to Magellan Charter School (our code is 2090). Friends and family can link to Magellan too. All VIC cards must be relinked each year (August 1).

All families are encouraged to join MaP, and attend meetings held each month to keep information flowing between parents and the school. MaP meetings are a great way to learn about upcoming volunteer opportunities, understand how MaP finances are being used to support Magellan programs, and hear from members of the board and the administration. Please join us to see what is happening at the school!
Even if you can’t attend the monthly meetings, MaP compiles information each week to send to families. The Magellan Minute offers brief descriptions and links to more details about what is going on at school. You can find the latest Minute here.

Lunches
Another way MaP supports the Magellan community is by paying for the OrgsOnline service used to pre-order Chick-fil-A and Salsa Fresh lunches. Served on Mondays, Chick-fil-A meals are a fundraiser for the Magellan Boosters and our sports teams. The Salsa Fresh meals on Fridays are offered at cost to our families.
Every few months, families can use OrgsOnline to order and pay for food to be delivered for their students. New families can set up an account using these instructions. Payments can be made using an electronic check (the preferred, fee-free option), a credit card or a debit card. Please be aware that the only way to pay for Chick-fil-A and Salsa Fresh meals is through OrgsOnline.
