SCRIP PROGRAM

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 our organization. 

How does Scrip generate revenue for you?

The Great Lakes Scrip Center acts on behalf of churches, schools 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 our organization’s revenue. 

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.

Program Information

  • Scrip orders are placed bi-monthly for the traditional gift cards (physical plastic cards). Scrip orders are due by midnight on the 2nd and 4th Sunday of each month. Orders will be available for pick up at the Front Desk of the 20th Ave YMCA the following Friday evening.
  • In the event that we have a Scrip order in which the contribution to the team is less than the shipping charge for receiving the cards, we will hold that order until the next cycle. You will be notified if your order will be delayed.
  • ScripNow eCards can be ordered anytime. ScripNow is an eCard that you can buy and receive instantly. You can print off ScripNow, or redeem it on your mobile device for certain retailers.
