Historically, the word Scrip actually was a substitute for money which , depending upon the issuer and the agreement, was exchangeable for cash, goods or services. In modern day terms, Scrip describes a variety of fundraising programs that encourage families to buy their goods through participating merchants. They then contribute a percentage of the purchases to the designated group. eScrip is an electronic version of these fundraising efforts.
The programs are varied and administered differently. A common version allows organizations to purchase gift cards/certificates through merchant partners at a discount while another tracks purchases and then contributes a percentage of a customer’s purchase as a dnation. Basically, merchants want to reward customer loyalty and consider their donations as encouragement to continue to shop with them.
