Scrip Program

We’re pleased to share some exciting news about a new fundraising program for our organization. It’s called “scrip”, and it’s the fundraising program that works while you shop.

Scrip is simply a word meaning “substitute money” – in other words, scrip is gift cards/certificates from national and local retailers. They’re the same cards and certificates that you buy at the store. Many popular retailers participate in our scrip program including Albertsons, Safeway, King Soopers, Texaco, Home Depot, Lowe’s Home Improvement, Dillard’s, Macy’s, Kohl’s, Dick’s Sporting Goods, Chili’s, On The Border, Saltgrass Steakhouse, Starbuck’s and many, many others.

You’re probably asking yourself how these businesses help us raise money. It’s simple -- scrip participating retailers agree to sell gift certificates to our organization at a discount. Member families like yours buy the certificates for full face value, they redeem them for full face value, and our organization keeps the difference as revenue. And scrip is exciting, because everybody wins:

* The retailer gets cash up front and repeat business…
* You get a powerful fundraising alternative that involves no selling…
* Our program gets a regular source of revenue.

The beauty of scrip is that you put your regular household shopping dollars to work. You earn money for our school without spending a single additional penny. Just spend your regular shopping dollars with scrip at the stores that participate in the scrip program! And scrip can be used for just about any household purchase including food, clothing, entertainment, fuel, and even dining out.
