Scrip

 

Next Scrip Order Due Date is October 14th
Keep in mind that Scrip gift cards make ideal birthday and special occasion gifts!

 

What is Scrip?

Scrip is a term that means “substitute money”.  When you purchase scrip, you’re purchasing 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.  With every purchase, you earn revenue for our school.

How scrip generates revenue for our school

SCRIP has great earning power!  For ShopRite scrip, the school earns 5% of your purchase. 

 

For example:

 

 

 

 

 

 

You purchase a $100

ShopRite gift card

You buy $100 worth of

groceries at ShopRite

4% of the $100 gift card

goes back to Gibbs

For some of the department store scrip, we earn even more!  Macy’s is 10%, Payless Shoes is 13%.  You’re probably asking how these stores help us raise money.  It’s simple…scrip participating retailers agree to sell gift certificates to our organization at a discount.  Gibbs families like yours buy the certificates for full face value, you redeem the certificates for full face value and our school gets a percentage as revenue. 

 

Everybody wins when you purchase scrip:

  • The retailer gets cash up front and repeat business

  • You get a powerful fundraising alternative that involves no selling

  • Our school gets a regular source of revenue.

Scrip is “Shopping cart fundraising”

Scrip is a popular fundraiser because families don’t have to sell anything.  Families produce revenue by making regular household purchases they would make anyway.  Groceries, clothing, toys, even gasoline can be purchased with scrip.  Help the school without hurting your wallet!  Get in the habit of buying SCRIP for all of your shopping!  They are great birthday, holiday and special occasion gifts such as teacher’s gifts too!  Buy your Holiday gifts cards through this program and raise money for our school at the same time! 

The order form can be found here.  Just fill it out along with a check made out to B.F. Gibbs PTO.  Please place it in an envelope marked “PTO SCRIP” and send it into school with your child.
