SCRIP
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 Immanuel Lutheran Tuition and PTL.
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. Immanuel 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 is from two to fifteen
percent or more provides a revenue to help with tuition.
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.
