Scrip -Shopping Cart Fundraising
What is Scrip?
When you purchase scrip from the Tarpon Springs Band Boosters, you are purchasing negotiable gift certificates that are used just like cash. Scrip is like substitute money; the scrip is issued by the national and local retailers where your family already shops. These merchants want to support non-profit organizations, and in return ask you to support them by shopping with scrip at their stores. You can use scrip to purchase everyday expenses like food, clothing, and other essentials, and with every purchase, we earn revenue for the Leadership and Music Conservatory!
You pay face value plus a very small hand
ling fee (35 cents per $100 face), and you get the full face value at the retailer; the Leadership and Music Conservatory receives a percentage of the face value in the transaction which is completely transparent to you.
Why does this work?
- Participating retailers are stores where you shop now.
- You can help the Leadership and Music Conservatory without spending an extra dime.
- Retailers build strong consumer loyalty and are assured of sales.
We acquire our scrip from the Great Lakes Scrip Center. For more information on how the program works, visit their website.
