PPMCC Gift Card Fundraising Program:
The Scrip Program is a "no-selling" fundraising program. You buy a gift card
through the church, and the church receives a percentage of the proceeds. The
percentage of the benefit that comes to the church varies from store to store,
but generally, the percentage ranges from 2%-12%. So, for example, if you buy a
$100 gift card to Home Depot, you get your $100 card, and the church gets $4.00
(4%) in dividends from the Scrip Program. It’s fundraising while you shop, and
the gift cards are the same gift cards you would normally purchase from a
retailer in your local stores. With over 500 of the country’s biggest brands,
the Scrip Program has something to appeal to all families. You’ll find cards
you can use at grocery stores, gas stations, restaurants, movie theaters, home
improvement stores, and almost any business that accepts gift cards.
So, we encourage you to get involved in the SCRIP program as a way to raise
money for the church while doing all the normal shopping you would each week!
It is a win-win!
