Scrips Fundraiser

Scrips Sales Fundraiser

[November 20th - December 1st]
This is an email fundraiser. Current order forms will go
out via email around November 20th & the cards will be
delivered sometime before Christmas. Contact Amy
Thorne if you need more info and do not have an email
address.

This is a great way to earn extra money, especially if you give gift
cards as Christmas presents.

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.
