Gift Card Fundraising for Schools & Daycares

Are you tired of typical fundraisers that ask you and your supporters to buy things you don’t want or need?

All parents cringe when they hear that their school has decided to sell products that are overpriced and/or unhealthy. 

If you’re reading this, then there’s a good chance that people are relying on you to come up with a great fundraising solution.

FundScrip can help!

What is FundScrip?

FundScrip is a bilingual, Canadian gift card fundraising program whereby your supporters generate contributions to your fundraising goal by buying gift cards to pay for the things they are already buying like groceries, gas, pharmacy, household items, and much more, from the retailers they are already buying them from. 

With FundScrip, your supporters' everyday spending is transformed into fundraising dollars for your school. 

Just think – each time your supporters buy groceries, put gas in their car, go to the movies, make improvements to their home, buy a gift, or just plain go shopping, much needed funds accumulate towards your school’s fundraising goals.

Who usually runs FundScrip in Schools?

Teachers and School Administrators

If you need extra funds to make your programs a reality, FundScrip can help. We know you are very busy and fundraising is yet an other task to add to your long list of things to do. So we've made it simple for you to set-up, launch and manage FundScrip for parents in your trip, music, sports and speciality programs.


Home and School Associations, Parent Committees, PAC's

Shrinking school budgets have made committee-based fundraising more challenging than ever before.  You have goals - We can help.

Is Fundscrip hard to run?

No. But it does require some work.

We know that many of our program administrators are volunteers or teachers with busy schedules; and so we’ve made it as easy as possible to setup, promote and manage your FundScrip program.

Your program’s earnings are ultimately a function of 3 key factors:

1. the number of supporters you enlist
2. the amount they buy
3. the frequency with which they buy

Influence these factors in a positive way and you’ll achieve and even exceed your goals!

Your role is simply to set-up the program and promote it. We do the rest.

To set-up your program you will need to create a plea for support, define a goal and establish a target and a timeline.

You can promote your program by email, letter, telephone – any way you choose. We have created lots of professional templates and support documentation to help you.

Our school has trips planned and any fundraising money is directed back to the parents' own trip accounts.  Can you help us with this?

FundScrip is the perfect solution for schools that organize trips, have band programs and other specialty fundraising goals.

FundScrip tracks how much each supporter contributes with its state-of-the-art platform. So that you can credit this back at the school level against fees, expenses or any other costs associated with your fundraising goals.

Our most successful school programs implement this approach because the incentive to participate is much greater when a parent’s child benefits directly from their own efforts.
