Requests to distribute information (Peach Jar)

Rutherford County Schools will consider requests to distribute information to parents from organizations which provide youth-oriented activities and/or programs that support the educational enrichment of students.

For qualifying information, Rutherford County Schools offers flyer distribution through the Peach Jar electronic distribution platform.

To submit eflyers for approval:

1. Visit Peach Jar
2. Register as a Community Organizer (account type).

For Nonprofit organizations:
Nonprofit 501(c)(3) organizations must upload a current letter of determination from the Internal Revenue Service indicating their non-profit status into their Peachjar account. Peachjar’s service fees may still apply.
For profit organizations:
At this time, Rutherford County Schools does not accept flyers from “For Profit” organizations unless their offer is for a product benefiting students that does not require a purchase. Peachjar’s service fees will still apply.

3. Upload your flyer for approval. Flyer must be uploaded as a PDF.

NOTE: If you are a parent group at one of our schools, these instructions do not apply. Please contact your campus Peachjar e-flyer coordinator.

For any questions related to the process, questions should be directed to Cory Ann McCormack with the RCS Communications and Legal Departments at 615-893-5812 or [email protected].
