What is Scrip?

Scrip is a type of gift certificate and gift card offered through the Great Lakes Scrip Center (www.glscrip.com) (GLSC) as a fundraising opportunity for nonprofit organizations. The GLSC purchases Scrip at discount rates from grocery chains, restaurants, and retail, drug, department and specialty outlets all over the United States. Participating nonprofit organizations, in turn, may resell the Scrip at face value, and the GLSC passes on a percentage of their discount to the organization.

What makes Scrip an easy way to raise funds?

Scrip is an easy way to raise funds because, ultimately, it costs you nothing more than you would already spend in your community on groceries, clothing, restaurant dining, books, movie rentals, gasoline, automotive services, home improvement supplies, etc. Spending this money with your favorite merchants through the Scrip program, however, allows the merchants to support the Rawlinson Band program.

To raise even more funds for our band program, you may want to persuade a group of family members and friends to order Scrip from your student on a regular basis. Most Scrip can be used for the purchase of any merchandise at the selected merchant, and they make great holiday and birthday gifts, too!

How can the Scrip program help the Rawlinson Band?

The denominations available vary by merchant, as do the percentages of the face value that can be earned with each purchase.

For example:

Simply place your completed Scrip order form and full payment (checks made payable to Rawlinson Music Lovers) in an envelope labeled with your name and your student's name and "Scrip," and drop it in the box in the band director’s office. Orders must be placed in the office no later than 2 p.m. on the due date.

How long will it take to receive my Scrip order?

Scrip orders usually arrive three to four business days after the order date. When they arrive, you will be contacted to arrange for pick up. Due to the risk of loss or theft with cards and certificates of cash value, we will not send Scrip home with students.
