Scrip Fundraising - How It Works
Scrip refers to gift certificates, or gift cards. Scrip Pro provides gift card fundraisers for schools, churches and other non-profits, who purchase gift cards from hundreds of merchants nationwide through Scrip Pro at a discount, and sell them to their organization's members at face value. The difference is your organization's profit.
School families and members of non-profit organizations love the scrip fundraising approach. Not only are they spared from becoming salespeople themselves, they also do not have to purchase any items that they don't want or need. They simply purchase gift cards and use them for what they normally buy - like groceries, restaurants, books, clothes etc.
So, no more peeler cards, gift wrap and chocolate candy bars. By using same-as-cash scrip certificates to make your normal purchases, you do not need to spend any extra money, AND your organization earns a percentage from every purchase you make!
The beauty of a gift card fundraiser is its simplicity. It operates on a 1-2-3 step system:
Step 1
Members of your school or organization place their order with their group coordinator.
| Example: | ||
|---|---|---|
| 100 People Order | 1 $50 Marriott Gift Card | $5,000 |
| 100 People Order | 1 $10 Panera Bread Gift Card | $1,000 |
| Order Total: | $6,000 |
Step 2
Your school or organization purchases those certificates from Scrip Pro at the vendor-designated discount.
| Example: | Discount | Total Purchase Price | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 100 | $50 Marriott Gift Card | 12% | $4,400 |
| 100 | $10 Panera Bread Gift Card | 9% | $910 |
| Order Total: | $5,310 | ||
Step 3
Your school or organization earns a profit!
| Example: | ||
|---|---|---|
| Marriott Profit | $600 | |
| Panera Bread Profit | $90 | |
| Total Profit: | $690 |
