Found this interesting organization called Common Cents, the organization that created the Penny Harvest. The Penny Harvest is an ingenious and simple program which gives children the power of philanthropy. The program is simple – gather pennies throughout the year and at the end, donate all of your collected pennies as a cash grant to the orgtanization of your choosing. But how much can a penny really do? Let’s just say that in the 2007/2008 school year, the Penny Harvest students across the country raised an astonishing $799,033.35

Now that’s a lot of pennies!

Check out what Teddy Gross, the founder of the Penny Harvest, has to say.
