What is Scrip?
Scrip is a term that means “substitute money.” When you purchase scrip, you’re purchasing prepaid GiftCards that are used just like cash to purchase everyday items like food, clothing, gasoline, home improvement supplies, pharmacy items, and other essentials. Scrip GiftCards are even available for entertainment expenses and dining out.
These are the same GiftCards that you buy at the store. Because the stores sell the GiftCards in large quantities and receive their cash up front, they are willing to offer them at a discounted price. Our families buy the GiftCards for full face value and the church keeps the difference as revenue, so with every purchase you make using Scrip GiftCards, you earn money for our church. The discounts offered by the merchants vary.
Why should I buy Scrip?
When you use Scrip in place of cash, checks or credit cards for purchases you were going to make anyway, the Music Ministry receives a percentage of your purchases courtesy of the participating retailers. The Music Ministry needs your participation in our Scrip program. It is estimated that the average family spends nearly $1000 per month on consumer purchases. Assuming a 5% average discount, using Scrip GiftCards would equate to an annual contribution of about $600.
You do not pay a premium to use Scrip GiftCards; you pay the face value to purchase them and receive the full value of the GiftCard amount when you use it. The money that the Music Ministry makes from your use of Scrip GiftCards is contributed by the participating merchants.
