FUNDRAISING WITH SCRIP
What is Scrip?
Scrip converts your usual shopping into fundraising for OLF. You buy Scrip gift cards for the places you shop and our school earns rebates. Rebate amounts vary by retailer, ranging from 2 to 15 percent of your purchase. Find out whether your favorite stores shop with Scrip and how much they give back.
Example: Macy's offers Scrip shoppers a 10% rebate. You buy $500 in Scrip gift cards for Macy's. You have $500 to spend at Macy's and OLF earns $50.
Getting Started
Create your Shop With Scrip account. From there, browse the hundreds of Scrip retailers and buy plastic gift cards (mailed to you) or eScrip (paperless codes instantly e-mailed to you).
For security reasons, OLF shares our Scrip Enrollment Code only directly with school families. In early July 2020, enrolled families will receive an e-mailed Scrip letter with the Enrollment Code. You may also contact the school office for the code.
Your Scrip Commitment
For each school year, all K-8 families must either:
- Commit to earn at least $200 in Scrip rebate proceeds for OLF; or
- Agree to pay $300 by August 30th and opt out of the Scrip program.
After meeting the minimum requirement of $200 in Scrip rebate proceeds, participating families have three options:
- Earn up to 75% tuition credit. For example, a family earns $1,000.00 in Scrip rebates during one school year. The first $200 satisfies their minimum commitment to the school. The remaining $800 is split as follows: $600 (or 75%) credited to the family's tuition account for that school year, and $200 (or 25%) retained by OLF.
- Donate all rebate proceeds to OLF.
- Receive a cash refund for 75% of your rebate proceeds.
The "Scrip Year" runs from May 1st to April 30th. That means each family's $200 commitment must be met by April 30th (or fees will be assessed), and all Scrip purchases on May 1st or later apply to the following school year.
Preschool families are exempt from all Scrip requirements.
The more, the merrier.
Your friends and relatives may shop with Scrip to benefit OLF in your family's name. Your family receives credit when others shop for you.
Buy School Uniforms with Scrip
A popular way our families rack up rebates is by purchasing school uniforms with Scrip. Dennis Uniform offers a 5% Scrip rebate and Lands' End offers a 15% rebate.
