Scrip is a term that means “substitute money”. Tired of selling pizza, candy bars, and magazine subscriptions? Learn how using scrip can raise funds for YOUR CHILD’S BAND ACCOUNT. When you purchase scrip, you’re purchasing negotiable gift certificates that are used just like cash. The scrip is issued by the national and local retailers where you already shop. These merchants want to support non-profit organizations, and in return ask you to support them by shopping with scrip at their stores. You can use scrip to purchase everyday expenses like food, clothing, and other essentials, and with every purchase, you earn revenue for YOUR CHILD’S BAND ACCOUNT.

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. You buy the scrip from Great Lakes Scrip Center at a discount, and you receive the certificates for full face value. The bulk of the discount – from two to fifteen percent or more – goes into YOUR CHILD’S BAND ACCOUNT as revenue.

Scrip is “shopping cart fundraising”.

The reason for the effectiveness of scrip is simple: families generate revenue through purchases they would make anyway. Groceries, clothing, toys, gifts, even gasoline can be purchased with scrip. An organization of 150 families easily spends between one and two million dollars per year on food, clothing and other essentials. If these families use scrip for these purchases, they can raise as much as $40,000 to $80,000 per year for their organization –without spending an additional penny. That could mean between $200 to $600 put into YOUR CHILD’S BAND ACCOUNT per year, without spending any extra money!

Retailers like Scrip, too.

Families who purchase scrip certificates actively support the retailers who participate in this program. The reason is simple… they know that buying from a scrip participating retailer provides a steady source of revenue for their church, school, or non-profit organization.
