What is Scrip? Scrip is simply a term that means “substitute money”. Scrip fundraising is a NO-SELLING program that allows families to raise money for their school by using gift cards (scrip) to pay for everyday purchases.

How does it work? Families order gift cards from their school and pay face value. The school then orders the gift cards from Great Lakes Scrip Center (GLSC) for less than face value (based on the discount given by the retailer). The school keeps the difference (rebate) as the means of the fundraiser.

How do I receive my order?
Orders placed (online or paper forms) and paid by Mondays at noon are usually available the following Thursday after school. You will receive a call when your scrip order is available to be picked up, or you may request to have the cards sent home with your Sacred Heart student. Cards are activated when they arrive and should be treated as cash.
Can I buy cards from local businesses? Several local businesses participate in our scrip program. Local cards can be ordered online or using paper order forms using the same process used to order national brands. Businesses participating locally can be found at the end of the order forms.
Are electronic cards or reloads available? Families registered on shopwithscrip.com and using PrestoPay can order ScripNow or Reload selected cards. ScripNow can be instantly downloaded or sent to the email address of your choice. ScripNow ecards can be used to pay for an online order, or printed for use at a retailer. Some ScripNow products can be redeemed at a retailer directly from your smartphone. Some plastic cards can be reloaded using PrestoPay.
For more information on ScripNow, Reloads or available retailers, go to www.shopwithscrip.com, click on the blue “Sign In” button on the top right of the page, then click on “Shop”.
