Fundraising Made Easy with Scrip!

Scrip gift cards

Did you know you can raise money for our school while doing your everyday shopping? All you have to do is purchase gift cards from America’s favorite retailers and use them in place of cash, checks, or credit cards for purchases you were going to make anyway! Each card purchased carries an associated “contribution” of 2-15% or more. Gift cards are available from over 300 national and local retailers. Groceries, clothing, dining out, home improvement, even gasoline can all be purchased with Scrip. An school of 150 families easily spends between one and two million dollars a year on these purchases. If they do the majority of this shopping with Scrip, they can raise as much as $40,000 to $80,000 per year for our school – without spending an additional penny!
