About GreenFlea
A successful example of a private business doing good for public schools |
GreenFlea, Inc. was incorporated in 1985 as a for-profit small business to act as the operator of the market on Columbus Avenue. The Parents Associations of PS 87, the Computer School and MS 44 are the principal owners while the NYC Council on the Environment (operator of the famous Union Square Farmers' Market) is a minority shareholder. |
| Money
generated by the operation of the flea market is used by the parents to provide
needed enrichment opportunities for the children of the two schools. Since 1985,
GreenFlea has provided the schools with more than $4,000,000 in additional funds.

Under the regulations of the New York City Department of Education, a parents association is allowed to sponsor a flea market on school property for the purpose of generating enrichment funds for the students of the school. |
