must be a qualified 501(c)(3) nonprofit, state-accredited, k-12 school located within Smith’s operating areas in Montana, Wyoming, Idaho, Utah, and New Mexico.
A school’s share will be based on the percentage of purchases made by Earn & Learn participants linked to the local school compared with purchases made by all Earn & Learn participants. The more purchases made by participants linked to the school, the more the school will earn.
