“Since 1996, schools have earned nearly $1 billion through Box
Tops for Education, and data shows a large amount of our program
supporters are Walmart shoppers. Box Tops has always been one of
the easiest ways to support schools and teachers, and we’re excited
to make it even easier by partnering with Walmart on our new
Connected Accounts app feature,” said Lilly Moeding, Box Tops for
Education brand experience manager. “Now you can earn cash for your
school every time you buy Box Tops products at Walmart — with no
scanning required!”
Box Tops for Education has always believed that a child’s
education is the foundation to achieving their fullest potential
and teachers are a huge part of that. To further explore the
influence educators have on students, YouGov recently conducted a
survey* on behalf of Box Tops and discovered 86% of respondents
agree that teachers are integral to our society, while almost half
(49%) strongly agree that teachers are not celebrated enough in the
U.S. With this in mind, Box Tops created the new Connected Accounts
feature as the next initiative to help participants automate the
process of earning Box Tops, making it easier to support the
schools that need it most.
Connected Accounts is now available via the Box Tops app. For
instructions on how to activate and use Connected Accounts, visit
