Independent Education has partnered with Purchasing Point, a purchasing consortium sponsored by the non-profit National Human Services Assembly, to provide Independent Education schools access to deep discounts on thousands of goods and services from over 700 national vendors, including Staples, FedEx, 3M, Pitney Bowes, Alamo, and Microsoft.
Other members of the Purchasing Point consortium are among the nation’s foremost non-profits, including the Salvation Army, YMCA/YWCA, the American Cancer Society, AARP, the Girl Scouts, and dozens of other organizations. Together, consortium members purchase over $17 billion annually, helping Independent Education schools realize discounts usually reserved for Fortune 100 companies.
Invoice-to-invoice comparisons of Purchasing Point members suggest that the typical organization is able to save about 33 percent on products and services as varied as office supplies, furniture, copiers, paper supplies, janitorial equipment and supplies, telecommunication equipment, credit card processing, postage machines, food and food equipment, paint, and car rentals.
