Support All Saints Catholic School by Purchasing $crip
What is Scrip?
When All Saints Catholic School (ASCS) families & parish members purchase scrip, they're purchasing negotiable gift certificates that are used just like cash. The scrip is issued by the national and local retailers where many of ASCS families already shop. These merchants want to support non profit organizations, and in return ask you to support them by shopping with scrip at their stores. ASCS members can use scrip to purchase everyday expenses like food, clothing, and other essentials, and with every purchase, they earn revenue for ASCS. Because the scrip is purchased with cash up front, the participating retailers offer a substantial discount. ASCS buys the scrip from Great Lakes Scrip Center and local vendors at a discount, and re-sells the certificates to you for full face value. The entire discount - from two to fifteen percent or more - is retained by All Saints Catholic School. Family purchases are credited back to their individual accounts until satisfied. Non-family and satisfied family account purchases are retained by ASCS and used to decrease the assessment request to our three parishes. The reason for the effectiveness of scrip is simple: families generate revenue through purchases they would make anyway. Groceries, clothing, toys, gifts, even gasoline can be purchased with scrip. An organization of 150 families easily spends between one and two million dollars per year on food, clothing and other essentials. If these families use scrip for these purchases, they can raise as much as $40,000 to $80,000 per year for ASCS --without spending an additional penny. Families who purchase scrip certificates actively support the retailers who participate in this program. The reason is simple… they know that buying from a scrip participating retailer provides a steady source of revenue for their church, school, or non-profit organization. In the top right corner of this website is an order form which lists many of the vendors on the ASCS Scrip Program. The phone number of the Business Office is 623-2211.Scrip is a term that means "substitute money".
