How does SCRIP work?
Scrip is “substitute money”.
When consumers purchase scrip, they receive negotiable certificates or cards that can be used like cash to purchase products or services from merchants who have issued them.
Scrip can be used to purchase anything from groceries, fuel, clothing, toys, and cosmetics to entertainment, electronics, home improvement, or household services.
Offering freedom of choice and versatility, scrip is also a great gift idea for anyone and any occasion.
Nevertheless, What makes scrip a valuable and effective fundraising tool for your organization is that as your members use it to buy their favorite products and services, they generate all or a portion of the much needed funds for your cause, projects, or programs.
