SCRIP
What is SCRIP?
Scrip is a simple and effective fundraising program that we can do without spending a single penny and without selling anything! Scrip is a term that means “substitute money”. When you purchase scrip, you’re purchasing gift certificates and prepaid cards that are used just like cash. With every purchase, you earn revenue for our school. The beauty of scrip is that you generate money for the school by making purchases you would make anyway. Just spend your regular shopping dollars with scrip at the stores that participate in the scrip program. Scrip can be used for just about any household purchase including food, clothing, entertainment, gifts, gasoline and even dining out.
How Scrip generates money for the school
The Great Lakes Scrip Center (GLSC) 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. Our organization buys the scrip from Great Lakes Scrip Center at a discount, and re-sells the certificates to families for full face value. The discount is from two to fifteen percent or more.
An organization of 150 families can spend 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.
