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.
