What is Scrip?
Scrip is a latin word that means "anything used instead of money". When you buy scrip from Our Lady of Mercy, you‟re purchasing Gift Cards from National Retailers. Now instead of thinking about buying them to give as a gift, we want you to use them just like you would your cash. You can use scrip to purchase everyday budgeted items like food, clothing, and other essentials, and with every purchase, you earn profit for our school.
Can I just buy the gift cards at the store? How does it work?
Unitedscrip purchases gift cards on behalf of churches, schools and other non-profit organizations to purchase large amounts of scrip from grocery stores, local vendors, department stores, and restaurants. Because the scrip is purchased in large volume, in cash, participating retailers offer a substantial discount. Our organization buys the scrip from UnitedScrip at a discount, and re-sells the certificates to families like yours for full face value. The discount - from two to fifteen percent or more – is our school’s revenue…FREE MONEY for Our Lady of Mercy!
Scrip is "making every purchase count for Our Lady of Mercy"
Scrip is a no brainer when it comes to fundraisers because families don‟t have to sell anything. NO DOOR TO DOOR SALES!! OLM Families, Faculty and Staff along with their friends, families, neighbors and employers, produce revenue or profit for our school by making regular household purchases they would make anyway. National Retailers, A – Z, including groceries, movies, clothing, toys, restaurants, chocolates, shoes and catalogs, online or on the way, gasoline and more - each can be purchased with scrip.
