What is SCRIP?

What is Scrip?

Scrip is a term that means "substitute money". When you purchase scrip, you are purchasing negotiable gift certificates and prepaid cards that are used just like cash. You can use scrip to purchase everyday items like food, clothing, and other essentials, and with every purchase, you earn revenue for Sacred Heart School. 

How Scrip generates revenue for Sacred Heart School
 
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.
Sacred Heart School buys the scrip from Great Lakes Scrip Center at a discount, and re-sells the certificates to families like your for full face value. The discount - from two to fifteen percent or more - is Sacred Heart School's revenue.
At the end of the fiscal year, half of the revenue generated goes to Sacred Heart School and half is tuition reimbursement (deducted from your tuition cost). So, if the discount is 10% of the amount, then the school would get 5% and you would have 5% deducted from your family's tuition cost.
 
Scrip is "shopping cart fundraising" 

Scrip is a popular fundraiser because families don't have to sell anything. The revenue is produced by making regular household purchases they would make anyway. Groceries, clothing, toys, gifts, even gasoline can be purchased with scrip.
