What is SCRIP?

We are 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 that means “substitute money”. In other words scrip is gift certificates from national and local retailers. They’re the same gift certificates that you buy at the store. Many popular retailers participate in our scrip program including JCPenney, The Gap, Shell, Pizza Hut, Red Lobster and many, many others.

You’re probably asking yourself how these stores 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 school keeps the difference as revenue. And scrip is exciting, because everybody wins:

	The retailers gets cash up front and repeat business….
	You get a powerful fundraising alternative that involves no selling
	Our school 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, gasoline, and even dining out.

We’ll be holding a brief meeting about our new scrip program at our next PTO meeting and we urge you to attend. We’ll go over all the facts about scrip, provide enrollment forms and answer your questions.
