We’re proud to give back!
The Local Government Purchasing Cooperative is giving a combined total of $14.3 million in rebates to 1,397 BuyBoard® members across Texas, including schools, colleges, and local governments.

Rebates are funded entirely by excess revenue from vendor service fees. When vendor fees exceed operating costs, the Cooperative returns that surplus to members. Those funds can help Texas members reinvest in their employees, classrooms, and communities.

“It is a fantastic boost to our budget that allows us to reinvest in essential projects and resources for our students.” – La Porte ISD
