eBay, the online auction company, now allows its 69 million individual and corporate customers to assign all or part of their online proceeds to the Triangle Education Foundation. It's really quite simple. If you are a regular buyer or a seller on eBay and already have an eBay user name and password, you'll want to take just a minute to register with MissionFish, eBay's charity solution provider at http://www.missionfish.org.

If you've never shopped or sold items on eBay, it takes less than a minute to register and set up your account using the same MissionFish link above.

Once registered with MissionFish, you can search for items currently on auction that are scheduled to benefit Triangle Education Foundation and bid on these items yourself. You can also list items to sell designating Triangle to receive anywhere from 10% to 100% of the proceeds from each item auctioned.

If you've been contemplating a garage sale or have items of value you feel would do particularly well on eBay, please consider helping out Triangle as you shop and sell. On eBay, you can sell or buy just about anything from a high school yearbook to real estate.

eBay may be the largest online charitable retailer, but it is not the only one. If you shop online, you can also designate Triangle as a recipient of up to 35% of the cost of items purchased at www.buyforcharity.com and up to 15% of items purchased at www.greatergood.com.

When you make a gift of this type or any other to the Triangle Education Foundation, you will promptly receive a thank you acknowledgement letter with the charitable amount of your gift to use for tax purposes.

We hope you will contact our office for more information on a growing variety of donor opportunities at the Triangle Education Foundation. We would be happy to discuss and/or send you more information by regular mail or as an email attachment.
