Our Mission
FundScrip's mission is to make the world a better place by helping more non-profit groups reach their fundraising goals than anyone else by offering easy to manage, effective programs and solutions that maximize value for supporters and our suppliers.
We have an ambitious mission and we recognize that many stakeholders will play critical roles in helping us achieve it.
We understand that our stakeholders entrust us with their important assets from grocery & gas money to fundraising earnings to brand reputation to personal information and so on. They also put their trust in us to keep our promises to them. To this end, we pledge to protect these assets and follow-through on our promises to each. (See "Our Values")
Our History
FundScrip began in Montreal, Quebec in 2004 as a unique program targeting parents who wanted to save money for their children's education. Using virtually the same model we use today, parents would buy gift cards to pay for their everyday purchases to earn cash rebates towards their children's RESP's.
The program has since evolved to become a general fundraiser for groups as diverse as schools, churches & other faith-based organizations, sports teams & clubs, charitable foundations, community & service groups, etc.
We look forward to expanding this list even more with the many new features and improvements we have scheduled for the platform.
