What is Scrip?

Scrip is an incredible fundraising tool for our parish, without turning you into a salesperson. Our parish will earn money just by using gift cards to pay for your everyday purchases! The church receives a percentage of the total purchase price back - at no additional cost to you! In other words, each business gives a donation to the parish, through the use of gift cards.



Here's one family's example: 

Scrip Gift Cards Purchased Percentage Each Business Gives Back to the Parish
Speedway Gas Card ($25) yields 4% $1.00
Subway ($20) yields 3% $0.60
Pizza Hut ($20) yields 8% $1.60
Starbucks ($10) yields 7% $0.70
Walmart ($100) yields 2.5% $2.50
TOTAL Profit for Parish from THIS order: $6.40
If 200 families participated weekly: $1,280.00 per week
Times 52 weeks per year: $66,560.00 per year
Extra cost to parishioners: ZERO
Benefit to the parish: INCREDIBLE!

Here are some ways to make this work for you and your family: 

- Buy gift cards for the things you need this week (gas, groceries, etc.)

- Start a Christmas Club for yourself: Buy 1-2 gift cards a week to have money in your hand ready for Christmas shopping in December.

- If you're trying to stay on budget, using prepaid gift cards will help in only spending that set amount.

- Home project? Budget for it by buying Home Depot or Menard's gift cards each week to save up. 

- Give gift cards as gifts for birthdays or holidays.

- Baby on the way? Buy a couple gift cards every few weeks during pregnancy to have some takeout meals ready for when Baby comes.

- Have a college student in your life? College kids love gift cards for gas and food.

- Stash a few restaurant cards for times you want to eat out.

There are so many ways this can work to your advantage AND help the church?
