Microsoft recently renamed Bing Deals as MSN Offers and we already have a new subset of this deals platform.

The company has introduced MSN Offers for Schools.

Microsoft highlighted the features of this special deals service aimed at schools and students:

The mission of MSN Offers for Schools is simple - to strengthen local communities by supporting local businesses and raising money for local schools. The idea behind it actually came from a team of parents who were looking for a unique and more sustainable approach towards school fundraising for their own children’s schools.

The concept of utilizing the “daily deals” platform as a school fundraising tool eventually evolved into MSN Offers for Schools. Those parents helped usher in the next generation of school fundraising – and MSN Offers is proud to be a part of it.

The MSN Offers for Schools program is all about improving local communities, one transaction at a time. Our system ensures that the money your community spends stays in your community. That’s the power of local.
