Liberty's Scrip Program
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.
