What is Scrip?

The word "scrip" means substitute money. When you buy scrip you are buying gift cards from national and local retailers, just like the gift cards you can purchase in stores and online. The difference with scrip is that shopping with scrip raises money for Sacred Heart.

How Scrip Raises Money for Sacred Heart

With the help of Great Lakes Scrip, Sacred Heart can obtain gift cards from participating retailers at a discount and sell them to you for full face value. Sacred Heart keeps the difference as revenue. For instance, we can get A&P gift cards worth $100 for $96. You buy the card $100 and Sacred Heart keeps the difference of $4 as revenue. A $25 card from Chili's nets Sacred Heart 11% of the card's value, or $2.25!

The beauty of scrip is that you earn money for Sacred Heart without buying anything extra. Just spend your regular shopping dollars with scrip at the stores that participate in the scrip program! Scrip can be used for just about any household purchase including food, clothing, entertainment, gasoline and dining out. All it takes is rethinking how you spend money. Scrip cards make great gifts for friends, family members, and teachers too.
