We have answers to the most frequently asked questions below.
How does scrip generate revenue for Fulton?
The Great Lakes Scrip Center acts on behalf of churches, schools and other non-profit organizations to purchase large amounts of scrip from national grocery stores, department stores, and other retailers. Because the scrip is purchased with cash up front, the participating retailers offer a substantial discount. Fulton buys the scrip from Great Lakes Scrip Center at a discount, and re-sells the gift cards to families like yours for full face value. The discount from 1.5 to fifteen percent or more is our organizations revenue.
So it doesn't cost me extra like traditional fundraisers?
No! All the scrip you purchase has full value. When you pay $100 for a gift card, it is worth $100. Fulton, however only paid $95 for the gift card, thereby earning a profit of $5. Scrip is a popular fundraiser because families don't have to sell anything. Families produce revenue by making regular household purchases they would make anyway. Groceries, clothing, toys, gifts; even gasoline can be purchased with scrip.
What if I can't afford to spend hundreds of dollars on gift cards at a time?
The gift cards are available in varying denominations from $5 or $10, up to $500, depending on the merchant. Buy as much or as little as you like. Remember, this is money you are already spending on groceries, video rentals, books, meals out, etc! We are not asking you to spend money outside of your family budget, but simply to plan ahead enough to allow you to route some of those dollars through Fulton's scrip program.
Can my friends and family buy scrip?
ABSOLUTELY! The gift cards you receive are the same gift cards you would buy if you went to the participating retailer and purchased them yourself. They are accepted at all participating retailer locations. The beauty is that you can buy cards to use for everyday purchases, as well as take advantage of the gift-giving potential! Gift cards make terrific gifts for birthdays, holidays, teacher appreciation, weddings, baby showers and more.
We do hope you will take advantage of this win-win situation.
Fulton has the potential to earn thousands of dollars with your support!
