When you hear the word “fundraising,” you probably associate it with pestering friends and family to buy from your abundant supply of wrapping paper, tubs of cookie dough, and trinkets galore. The truth is, the majority of fundraisers out there revolve around selling overpriced products that most people could live without. Sure, they bring in money if people are buying from you, but they're never guaranteed to succeed. Scrip, on the other hand, offers big earnings with no selling— it's fundraising while you shop!
Instead of relying on families to become salespeople like other fundraising ideas do, families fundraising with scrip are raising money simply by changing their method of payment. They won't be spending extra time, energy, or money on your fundraiser. In fact, once it’s up and running, scrip fundraising is simply integrated into your everyday life.
The only planning ahead you have to do is deciding what scrip you need to purchase, and even this revolves around your schedule. From taking on a home improvement project to planning a date night out to even just buying gas and groceries, you can order scrip beforehand and earn rebates every day!

How Is Money Earned?
The SCRIP participating retailers agree to sell their gift certificates to our organization at a discount. You buy the certificates for full face value, they redeem them for full face value, and the difference goes right back to your and the choir program. The rebates range from 1% to 20%, depending on the retailer, on a normal basis, with higher rebates available at times. One half of this discount is retained by the PPHS Choir Program, and the other half is placed in your student account.
Example: You buy a $100 gift card from Lands End, which has a 16% rebate. You pay $100 for the card. We pay ShopWithScrip $84, then $8 goes back to the choir program and $8 goes into your student account. It’s very easy!
