What
Is Scrip?
Scrip is a term that means “substitute money”.
When you purchase scrip, you’re purchasing negotiable gift certificates and
prepaid cards that are used just like cash. You
can use scrip to purchase everyday expenses like food, clothing, and other
essentials, and with every purchase, you earn revenue for our
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.
Our organization buys the scrip from Great Lakes Scrip Center at a
discount, and re-sells the certificates to families like yours for full face
value. The discount ‑ from two to
fifteen percent or more – is our
organization’s revenue.
Scrip is "shopping cart fundraising”
Scrip
is a popular fundraiser because families don’t have to sell anything. Organization members produce revenue by making regular household purchases they would
make anyway. Groceries,
clothing, toys, gifts, even gasoline can be purchased with scrip.
