  2. Register as Account Type "Program Provider" 

  3. Select the school(s) to distribute.

Important Notes for Public Entities

  • This service incurs a fee of $25 per flyer per school* - typically much less than the cost to copy and deliver paper flyers to each school.

  • *To post fliers free-of-charge, you must qualify as a non-profit, charitable, or civic organization (UBI or Tax ID number required), AND the item, service, or event you are advertising is offered at no cost.

  • The Harrisburg School District does not have any part in this process. Please contact PeachJar for further details.

  • Flyers that advertise a benefit that incurs a charge or fee or promotes such services or events will cost $25.00 per flyer per school to post. Peachjar will waive its service fees for local community organizations posting to HSD schools when promoting a free event or activity that does not entice participants to join a fee-based program, or purchase products or services. 

  • To receive the waived service fees, a community organization must contact Peachjar to make the request.
