What is United Scrip?
Scrip is fundraising gift cards and are the same gift cards you would normally purchase from a retailer at your local retail stores, and they work the same way. You'll find cards you can use at grocery stores, gas stations, restaurants, home improvement stores and at almost any business that accepts gift cards. Virtually anywhere you shop will accept some form of Scrip.
How does United Scrip work?
St. Michael Catholic School purchases gift cards at a discounted amount and sells these cards at full face value. Our school and parish families purchase these gift cards for the full face value for places where they plan to shop and use scrip cards instead of cash or credit. The difference of the face value and the discount purchase percentage is the scrip fundraising profit–money earned on every dollar spent using scrip gift cards.
