What is Simplified SCRIP?

• Simplified SCRIP is an exclusive gift card
  fundraising program that turns everyday purchases
  into cash for your school or group.
• There are hundreds of gift cards to choose from. 
  
• They are the same gift cards that you purchase at
  the store, but these cards earn a donation for
  your group.   
• Because the merchant issuing the gift card makes
  the contribution, the gift card is worth its full
  face value.

Who can participate?

• Any member of our group can maintain an account.
  
• Anyone can order gift cards
• Family, friends or coworkers from around the
  country

How does the program work?

  coworkers, etc.

  organization when you purchase Simplified SCRIP
  gift card(s).

  be found on the order form or at

Just imagine

• If you used gift cards only for your gas and
  groceries (estimated at 500 per month)
• You could raise 180 per year!
• Imagine if grandparents and a couple other
  friends or family members did the same.
• Imagine if you also used gift cards for your
  dining out, apparel, or other normal purchases
• The possibilities are endless!!!

Why cant I pay by credit card?

• Credit card transactions may cost as much as 3
  of the purchase. To ensure a donation is created
  with each purchase Simplified SCRIP can not
  accept credit cards as a form of payment. Paying
  by check or ACH withdrawal from your checking
  account, saves the transaction fees and passes
  the savings on to our organization.

  for a re-distribution can not be made after the
  45 day service period.

  like to purchase SCRIP gift cards from?If you

Tips for using gift cards

• My least favorite part about gift cards was that
  I never used to know what the remaining balance
  on the card was!
• When you pay with a gift card, most merchants
  print the remaining balance on the receipt.
• SoKEEP A SHARPIE in your car or purse. Then
  each time you use your gift cards, you can write
  the remaining balance right on the card!

A final word

• The nice thing about Simplified SCRIP
• Its a fundraiser in which you do NOT have to dig
  deeper into your pockets to buy things you dont
  need
• Continue with your normal spending patterns and
• Rather than cash or check, use a gift card at the
  counter.
