SCRIP Fundraiser
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 St. Angela Merici School.
How scrip generates revenue for St. Angela Merici School.
The Great Lakes Scrip Center acts on behalf of our school 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. Our organization 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 - from two to fifteen percent or more is St. Angela Merici School's revenue.
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.

Greetings Everyone,
Now that the fair and first quarter are finished, we can turn our attention back again to using our ordinary every day purchasing power to raise money for SAM. Please download the order forms and the flyer about holiday specials with Great Lakes SCRIP Center. This year there are two ways to order your SCRIP cards.
First, you can continue to order the cards using the Family Order Form and submit these and your check to Linda Benedetto by Thursday of each week. After receiving payment Linda will process the order, and submit the order to Great Lakes SCRIP Center. Typically, the orders are ready for pick-up by the following Thursday.
Second, you can enroll online with Great Lakes SCRIP Center (see instructions outlined below) and do your card shopping directly with them. After payment is received, Linda processes the online orders by Thursday of each week and submits them with any traditional orders received that week as well. Again, these orders are typically ready for pick-up by the following Thursday.
Once you are enrolled online, you may actually reload cards that you already have without having to wait for a new one to arrive at St. Angela. This should appeal to those individuals or families that use their cards for everyday purchases at the grocery store, pharmacy, gas station, etc. Thanks ahead of time for all of the support to help SAM raise money.
