Frequently Asked Questions
What is Scrip?
Scrip fundraising is a program that enables our families to easily satisfy their annual family fee and help raise money for St. Anthony of Padua Catholic School.
Scrip is just another way to pay for everyday purchases using gift cards in place of cash, checks and credit cards.
Scrip is the largest ongoing fundraiser for St. Anthony of Padua Catholic School and helps us significantly with funding tuition assistance and other general needs.
How does it work?
We purchase gift cards and certificates from local and national vendors at a discounted rate and sell them to you for full face value, then families buy the gift cards from our program at full face value and redeem them for full face value! Then our organization gets the difference as revenue to distribute to participating families.
What will happen to the proceeds?
Families receive 75% of the profit from their Scrip purchases towards their annual family fee based on the normal Scrip profit percentage allowed by the merchant. St. Anthony of Padua Catholic School receives the other 25%. It’s easy for a family to earn $500 to $1,000 in a year and many families earn much more!
St. Anthony holds the proceeds in the SCRIP account until the end of each quarter; Feb 15, May 15, August 15 and November 15. At that time the distribution is run for each family, as per their instructions in the SCRIP agreement, which you are asked to complete at registration. Tuition rebate is reflected on each tuition statement. Other donation designations are sent to the designated accounts.
How do I purchase the gift cards?
Orders are placed Monday mornings by 8:30am with payment. Cards are ready for pick up on Thursday evenings from 5:15-6:15PM. There is an additional pick up of Sunday following 9am Mass, until 10:30am.
