SCRIP – Fundraising While You Shop ™ What is SCRIP? SCRIP is a wonderful and easy fundraising tool that gives money back to our school AND you. Through the SCRIP web site or from school/church, you buy gift cards for stores that you usually shop at like Wal-Mart, Publix and many, many more. You only pay the face value of the card. These retailers then donate a percentage of the gift card value to our school. For example, CVS donates 7% to CTK. For a $25 gift card, that is $1.75. The school splits that amount with you, so that you can then use it toward academic fees the next school year. Imagine how this adds up when you continually order gift cards for stores you always go to anyway. The list includes grocery, gas, restaurants, movies, clothes retailers, book stores, I-Tunes and many more. So what are you waiting for? Just do it! 1 THERE ARE 3 WAYS TO PURCHASE SCRIP GIFT CARDS: 1. ONLINE ORDERS – www.shopwithscrip.com PHYSICAL CARDS a. Physical cards will now be delivered once per month. This is because the school paid a lot of money each week in shipping that sometimes offset the profit we would have made, especially if there were only a few orders. b.
