What Is Scrip?
Scrip is a term that means "substitute money"
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.
How Scrip generates revenue for you?
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.
Scrip is a "shopping cart fundraising”
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.
Retailers like Scrip, too!
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.

Target Takes Charge of Education
Please click here to open the Target Takes Charge of Education Information. Participation in Target’s Take Charge of Education benefits ASCS, however, individual credit cannot be given towards $crip accounts because Target does not allow our school to view the family donation breakdown.
ASCS $crip Policy
ASCS sponsors a Scrip program which allows its families to purchase Scrip. The Scrip you purchase through the program generates rebates from participating retailers. These rebates can be used as a credit to the Annual Family Fee assessed as part of the total amount due from the school families each academic year. These rebates can also be used as a contribution to the school or supporting church of your choice, and/or as cash back to you. Please click here to open the ASCS Scrip Program Agreement.
