RETAILERS WANT TO GIVE OUR SCHOOL MONEY!

WHAT IS SCRIP?

Scrip is a term that means “substitute money”. When you purchase scrip, you are purchasing

negotiable gift certificates and prepaid cards that are used just like cash. You can use scrip to purchase

everyday items like food, clothing, and other essentials, and with every purchase, you earn revenue for

St. Anthony School.

SCRIP IS “SHOPPING CART FUNDRAISING”

Scrip is a popular fundraiser because families do not have to sell anything. Families produce revenue by

making regular household purchases they would make anyway. Groceries, clothing, toys, gifts, even

gasoline can be purchased with scrip.

HOW SCRIP GENERATES REVENUE FOR YOU

St. Anthony School buys scrip at a discount and re-sells the certificates to families for full face value.

The discount – from two to fifteen percent or more – is revenue for the school. As an incentive for all

families to participate in the scrip fundraising program, all discounts will be split with families – ½ of the

revenue will go to the school and ½ of the revenue will be credited back to the family as a tuition credit.

The tuition credits will be applied to the family’s account two times during the school year and will be

coordinated with the FACTS program.

SCRIP IS AVAILABLE MANY WAYS FOR YOUR CONVENIENCE

The entire scrip inventory is available by weekly order (Scrip Order - long form). All orders are due by

Tuesday morning at 8:15 and will be sent home with the student the following Tuesday afternoon

unless other arrangements have been made. Also, a select offering of scrip (Scrip NOW - short form)

will be available instantly through the school from Monday through Thursday – this will cut down on

the hassles of ordering, and will help with last minute plans. Each order form has complete details for

placing an order.  Contact the office for more information about the Scrip PrestoPay Program.
