SCRIP
What Is Scrip?
Scrip is a term that means "substitute money". When you purchase Scrip, you are purchasing negotiable gift certificates or 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 Immanuel Lutheran Tuition and PTL.
How scrip generates revenue for you
Immanuel purchases the gift certificates or prepaid cards from local vendors or through national scrip centers at a discount. The certificates or cards are then re-sold to families, like yours, for full face value. The discount is from two to fifteen percent or more and provides revenue to help with tuition. If you have a child in the school your child will receive a credit against their tuition. Any one can designate who they would like the credit to go to or it will be applied to the Immanuel Lutheran Tuition Assistance Fund.
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.
