Check out the fundraising ideas below or contact us today if you have questions.
Consider An Austin Air Promo Code Fundraising Campaign
How it Works:
- Each school is given a custom discount code (e.g., WESTHILL10) for families, staff, and alumni to purchase from AustinAir.com.
- A percent of each sale made using the code goes toward air purifiers or replacement filters for the school.
- Promote the campaign via the school’s email, social media, alumni newsletters, and student handouts.
- Families, teachers, alumni, and even businesses affiliated with the school can use this code to purchase purifiers or filters for home or work, and the school earns a percentage of every sale. This includes bulk orders.
- Holiday push: This fundraising campaign may be especially effective before the holidays as people can purchase Christmas gifts.
Rewards for Schools That Meet Goals
- Virtual Assembly: Raise enough for 10 purifiers and receive a Free Virtual Clean Air Assembly ($400 value) from Austin Air, featuring professional athletes and health experts, focused on how clean air supports peak performance and concentration.
- Extra Free Time: Schools could give the classroom that raises the most a pizza party, extra recess, or a movie day.
Consider A Classroom-by-Classroom Sponsorship Drive
How it Works:
- Parents, local businesses, and even extended family members can sponsor a classroom by donating toward an Austin Air unit.
- Or encourage business sponsorship matching for every purifier purchased.
- Each sponsored classroom can be featured on a fundraising board (online or in school) with a “Clean Air Champion” badge for the business sponsor.
- Use QR codes at school events for easy mobile donations toward the goal.
- Ideal for PTA/PTO-led initiatives or “Back to School Night” fundraisers.
- Sponsors receive a personalized thank-you card from students, recognition in the school newsletter and social media, and the option to include their name on a small sign in the classroom (“This room breathes clean thanks to ___”).
- Larger sponsors (multiple classrooms) get a custom feature in school press releases and shout-outs in media outreach.
- Holiday Push: reach out to businesses toward the end of the year
Other Possible Fundraising Ideas
Schools can also conduct their own fundraising initiatives to help raise money for filters and purifiers. For example:
- Host a “Clean Air Run/Walk-a-Thon”: Students gather pledges for walking or running laps around the school campus. Include air quality education stations along the route. Encourage local media coverage and invite school board members or local leaders to walk with students to show their support.
- “Name Your Purifier” Campaign: Donors who sponsor a purifier get naming rights and a plaque on the classroom unit (“Donated by the Rodriguez Family”).
- Filter Replacement Fundraising: Challenge every student to raise $10–$20 each to cover the cost of a new replacement filter for their classroom's Austin Air purifier.
- 50/50 Raffle or Family Prize Drawing: Sell tickets during PTA meetings, school concerts, or sports games. Use part of the proceeds to buy purifiers and reward winners with prizes donated by local businesses or school partners.
Other Sponsorship Ideas
"Name a Chair, Clear the Air"
Create a symbolic fundraiser where each desk or chair “costs” a donation amount (e.g., $20 per student). The total raised funds go toward new filters or purifiers for that classroom. Donors can “claim” a chair and get:
- Their name (or business) featured on a school wall display, website, or fundraiser leaderboard.
- Recognition at an assembly or via social media.
Lunch with a Local Hero
Partner with a local sports figure, author, entrepreneur, or doctor (especially someone with a health or wellness background) to offer a private lunch or meet-and-greet as a fundraiser prize. Businesses can sponsor the event while the school sells raffle tickets to raise funds.
Healthy Business Sponsors for Healthy Air
Reach out to wellness-focused businesses—gyms, chiropractors, health food stores, juice bars, pediatricians—and invite them to sponsor:
- A single air purifier
- A filter replacement drive
Offer co-branded flyers and social posts, and display their logo on clean air promotional materials for the school year.
“Breathe Better” Wellness Night
Host an exercise class or wellness night at the school, led by a local instructor. Invite a sponsor to underwrite the event in exchange for recognition on all promotional materials. Charge a donation-based entry fee, with proceeds going toward the purchase of Austin Air units or filters.
STEM Sponsor Partnership
Approach companies in tech, healthcare, or science-based industries to sponsor air purifiers as part of a STEM learning initiative. Position it as an opportunity to support both student health and science-based education (tie-in with air quality science, immune system education, etc.).
