Scrip 101 -How to Fundraise the Scrip Way
Every club, team, and organization has some kind of fees, or cost to each individual who participates. Even though Wentzville Holt Band has one of the lowest fees in the county, we realize it still affects the family budget. To help offset these costs, you can earn Fundraising $$$ for your Student’s Account by purchasing Scrip without having to spend additional $’s from your normal purchasing habits.
Scrip is simply a word that means “Substitute money” – in other words, Scrip is gift certificates from national and local retailers. They’re the same gift certificates that you can buy at the store. Many popular retailers participate in our Scrip program including Kohls, Home Depot, QT, St. Louis Bread Co., Wal-Mart, Lion’s Choice, and many, many others.
How does this help raise money? It’s simple! Scrip participating retailers agree to sell gift certificates to our organization at a discount. You purchase the certificates for full face value and our band keeps the difference as earnings. The earnings are split between your student’s account and the band.
The beauty of Scrip is that you put your regular household shopping dollars to work. You earn money for our band and your account without spending a single additional penny.
Example: You shop during the week at the follow locations: Lion’s Choice, Shop ‘n Save, Wal-Mart. You can purchase Scrip for these retailers.
Lion’s Choice: 3 cards @ $10= $30 (50% earnings= $15.00)
Shop ‘n Save: 2 cards @ $50= $100 (5% earnings = $2.50)
Wal-Mart: 1 card @ $100 = $100 (2% earnings = $2.00)
Total: $230 ($19.50 in earnings)
You’ve spent the same $230, but now you’ve earned $9.75 for your account and $9.75 for the band, all without spend any extra cash.
The Key to SCRIP success is to PLAN AHEAD. Birthdays, Teacher Gifts, Christmas, Vacations etc……SLOW AND STEADY is the key. Also, hand out Scrip forms to grandparents and neighbors. Anyone can participate and help you earn money.
