Scrip bases itself on consumer spending. It is a term that involves substituting the money people spend typically, with gift cards. The gift cards come from national, regional, and local retailers and they are the exact same ones that you would buy from a retail store.

Retail stores that participate in scrip sell their gift cards in bulk to Gift Cents at a discount. We pass a percentage of that discount on to various non-profit organizations, like yours, for the purpose of fundraising. Your members or supporters buy the gift cards you resell to them at their full-face retail value.

Non-profit organizations keep the difference between the discount and the retail value as their profit or fundraiser.

Using scrip is a win-win situation for all involved:

• Retailers gain repeat business and free advertising.
• Supporters or participants of scrip get to raise money without selling, just buying differently.
• Your organization gains a source of revenue that is viable all year long.

Scrip can be used for almost any household purchase including food, clothes, appliances, entertainment, gas, and dining out.

Scrip puts your organization's shopping dollars to work for you, every month of the year. It is the greatest invention in fundraising! It's fun making money with scrip!
