We’re pleased to share some exciting news about a fundraising program for Emerson. It’s called SCRIP and it’s the fundraising program that works while you shop at no extra cost to you.
SCRIP is simply a word that means “substitute money” – in other words, scrip provides gift certificates from national and local retailers. They’re the same gift certificates that you buy at the store. Many popular retailers participate in our scrip program including iTunes - 5% comes back to the school, The Gap - 14%, Shell, Pizza Hut, Panera Bread - 9%, L.L. Bean - 15%, and many, many others.
It’s simple -- SCRIP participating retailers agree to sell gift certificates to our organization at a discount. Member families, like yours, buy the certificates for full face value, they redeem them for full face value, and our school keeps the difference as revenue. With SCRIP everybody wins:
- You earn money for EMERSON without spending a single additional penny.
- You can pay by check to Emerson School, or online with SCRIP
- Our school gets a regular source of revenue.
- The retailer gets cash up front and repeat business.
And scrip can be used for just about any household purchase including food, clothing, entertainment, gasoline and even dining out.
