What Is Scrip?
Scrip is a term that means “substitute money”. When you purchase scrip,
you’re purchasing negotiable gift certificates and prepaid cards that are used
just like cash. You can use scrip to purchase everyday expenses like food,
clothing, and other essentials, and with every purchase, you earn revenue for
our organization.
How scrip generates revenue for you
The Great Lakes Scrip Center acts on behalf of churches, schools and other
non‑profit organizations to purchase large amounts of scrip from grocery
stores, department stores, and other retailers. Because the scrip is purchased
with cash up front, the participating retailers offer a substantial discount. Our
organization buys the scrip from Great Lakes Scrip Center at a discount, and
re-sells the certificates to families like yours for full face value. The discount ‑
from two to fifteen percent or more – is our organization’s revenue.
Scrip is "shopping cart fundraising”
Scrip is a popular fundraiser because families don’t have to sell anything. Organization members produce revenue by making regular household purchases they would make anyway. Groceries, clothing, toys, gifts, even gasoline
can be purchased with scrip.
Find Out More
Ask your scrip coordinator for the latest participating retailer list. Then put your
shopping dollars to work for our school! Or go online at
www.shopwithscrip.com and setup an account using ALIS enrollment
code A86DB45918678. You can order your cards online, it will be processed
by our scrip coordinator with the next order, and you can turn in your payment
to the school office or your church coordinator. If ordering online you can now
also pay online using the secure PrestoPay feature which can be activated
when you set up your online account.
Cards on Hand
We also have a limited supply of cards on hand. We carry the following cards
on hand: Wal-Mart, Joe’s Pizza, Dairy Bar, Home Center, IGA, Niemerg’s,
Cracker Barrel, TGI Fridays, Marathon, Walgreens, Culvers, and Subway.
They can be purchased at the ALIS Library or in the office from 7:45 a.m. to
3:15 p.m. every day that school is in session.
