| What is Scrip or eScrip?
The two terms are used interchangeably to describe a variety of ways to raise money for schools and non-profit organizations by shopping.
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. Look in future Wednesday folders for more information and updates! |
has created a system that rewards customer loyalty by contributing a percentage of purchases made by participating families to school or youth based groups.
Parents, teachers, friends and families are encouraged to register their grocery club cards, and existing credit/debit cards as supporters. A percentage of all purchases made at eScrip merchants will be given back to the designated school or group. Log onto www.eScrip.com. |
