NORTHWOOD PTA SCRIP (GIFT CARD) PROGRAM
Have you heard about our fundraising program called Scrip?
What Is Scrip?
Scrip is just another name for gift certificates and gift cards. When you participate in Northwood PTA’s scrip program, you’re purchasing the same pre-paid gift cards that you buy at the store. There are hundreds of participating retailers, from categories such as grocery stores, department and specialty stores, restaurants, and entertainment.
Some of the most popular gift cards include Starbucks, Speedway, Home Depot, Blockbuster, Kohl’s, National Coney Island, Hollywood Market, Kroger, Border’s, Macy’s, and CVS . See the complete list of participating retailers at www.glscrip.com.
How does Scrip generate revenue for Northwood PTA?
Participating retailers offer us a discount on gift card purchases – anywhere from 2% to 15% or more. Northwood PTA buys the cards at a discount, and then sells the gift cards to families at full face value. By making regular household purchases you would make anyway, you help Northwood PTA earn money. Last year we earned more than $2800 for programs, events and classroom purchases!
What does it cost to participate?
Absolutely nothing! Scrip is popular because families don’t have to sell anything, and it doesn’t cost anything to participate. The retailers are essentially paying Northwood PTA a commission for helping them sell their gift cards, so there are no costs to you.
