SCRIP PROGRAM |
|
Scrip is a term that means "substitute money". When your organization members purchase scrip, they're purchasing negotiable gift certificates that are used just like cash. The scrip is issued by the national and local retailers where many of your organization families already shop. These merchants want to support non-profit organizations, and in return ask you to support them by shopping with scrip at their stores. Your organization members can use scrip to purchase everyday expenses like food, clothing, and other essentials, and with every purchase, they earn revenue for your organization.
How scrip generates revenue for you. The Great Lakes Scrip center acts on behalf of churches, schools and other non-profit organizations to purchase large amounts of scrip from grocery stores, department stores, and other retailers. Because the scrip is purchased with cash up front, the participating retailers offer a substantial discount. Your organization buys the scrip from Great Lakes Scrip Center at a discount, and re-sells the certificates to your organization members for full face value. The bulk of the discount - from two to fifteen percent or more - is retained by your organization as revenue.
Scrip is "shopping cart fundraising”. The reason for the effectiveness of scrip is simple: families generate revenue through purchases they would make anyway. Groceries, clothing, toys, gifts, even gasoline can be purchased with scrip. An organization of 150 families easily spends between one and two million dollars per year on food, clothing and other essentials. If these families use scrip for these purchases, they can raise as much as $40,000 to $80,000 per year for their organization --without spending an additional penny.
Summary SCRIP is a program that allows you to earn money toward your child’s education through the purchase of gift cards. When you use these gift cards, a portion of the money goes into an account to be used toward your child’s education.
Proceeds from SCRIP have risen to almost $10,000 dollars last year. Many families have taken advantage of this program, which raises funds for both the school and parents as a portion of the profits can be used by parents for tuition for the next school year. Get involved today!
