(CSRwire) LOS ANGELES, Dec. 4 /PRNewswire/ -- Schools are having trouble in these economic times. Administrators must make difficult decisions on how to allocate funds. They have to look for ways to cut spending and save their schools.

"Enrollment alone costs administrators $40,000 or more per year," says Dan Rosendahl of www.Giftberry.org. "That $40,000 could go to a teacher or an after school program, but schools have to spend it processing students."

Giftberry has an online solution: eRollment that can erase the costs associated to enroll each student. It's the only solution of its kind. And they have an appealing price: Free. "Giftberry is a nonprofit, and provides no cost solutions to all nonprofits and schools," he says. "Yes, fund raising challenges exist," smiles Rosendahl. "This is a no brainer solution for schools to cut costs."

But what Rosendahl mostly wants to talk about is saving money for schools and bringing administrators into the modern era. "These poor people are forced to use medieval technology to run twenty first century organizations," he says. "It's ridiculous. And they need some knights riding to the rescue."

Of course, removing the cost of enrolling students is not going to change the face of education. Not by itself. Not over night. But changing the way schools spend money - giving them free, modern tools - will go a long way toward improving education. www.Giftberry.org is doing its part.
