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.
