Videos on how Scrip Works

In stock Scrip Order Form - UPDATED 7/21/17
Full Merchant List - Updated 5/31/2020

Utilizing the website Shopwithscrip.com and various local merchants the Grissom Band Parent Associations (GBPA) is selling gift cards to raise funds for the band.  Scrip cards are gift cards usable at any affiliated franchise nationwide.  There are hundreds of participating merchants.

How does this work?
  • Retailers sell gift cards at a discount
  • Families buy gift cards at full face value and redeem them for full face value
  • The GHS Band gets the difference as revenue, with 40% of the total going directly towards your student’s dues
Benefits to gift card (Scrip) fundraising
  • No selling random, unwanted, overpriced “stuff” to family or friends
  • Everyday family purchases become every day earnings for your organization
  • All of earnings support the GHS Band with 40% of the total going directly towards your student’s dues
  • Use gift cards to pay at checkout, just like using a credit/debit card, but without the fraud risk
  • Shop in store or online with participating retailers
How much can be earned?
  • Each family’s situation is different, but the more you work them into your normal household expenses the greater the return will be
  • Some typical example earnings would look like:

                                                                         Average Rebate                       Spending per Month                   Earnings per Month                  Earnings per Year
