FundScrip is a revolutionary Canadian Fundraising program that enables you to raise continual income for your school or non-profit group, by retaining a percentage of your supporters’ shopping dollars.
"I am so pleased with Fundscrip and the simplicity and basis of the program that I have been working on our local Scout Group and our parish church to come on board, and have also suggested it to parents or teachers at other schools. "
- Lynne Thiessen Steel, Lambton Kingsway School and Parent Council
Raise funds for your school, non-profit group or church without effort or hassle! Every time your supporters purchase groceries, fill up at the gas station, or shop for just about anything, they will actually raise funds for your cause!
How do you start a fundraising program with Fundscrip? Once your school or non-profit group has registered for free with FundScrip, your supporters join for free. They then order gift cards in advance for their everyday spending. These gift cards come pre-packed and sorted for each member – ready to be handed out without any headache!
Each retailer offers a rebate to your group, on the face value of each gift card. It’s that easy!
FundScrip is Profitable We currently have small groups (10-20 supporters) earning $5,000, with larger groups raising over $70,000. Each participating family generates between $300 and $700 per year.
Continuous Revenue Once established, FundScrip revenue is like an annuity and usually increases steadily over time.
Organizational Fit FundScrip often generates enough revenue to be your group’s only fundraiser, however, since it does not require supporters to spend on anything extra, it is a perfect complement to other types of fundraisers you may already use.
Why Will Supporters Use FundScrip?
With each gift card purchase through FundScrip, a supporter raises money for his group while also earning FundScrip Reward Dollars™, which they can redeem for any gift card of their choice.
This built-in loyalty program has been proven to dramatically increase the amount of money one can raise. First, it attracts more of potential supporters to join, and second, it encourages supporters to participate on a more regular basis.
No Sacrifice Unlike most fundraisers, your supporters are not being asked to spend additional money. They already know where they want to shop, and for what; and when they buy a gift card for $100, they will receive the full $100 value. Gift Cards can be redeemed just like cash, which means that your supporters can still use coupons, buy things on sale, and collect store loyalty points.

Scrip programs have been around in the U.S.
since the late 1980's.
Traditional Scrip programs have been responsible for raising more than $2 billion for over 150,000 schools and non-profit groups. FundScrip has taken this basic idea to a higher level, including online reporting for both administrator and supporter, online ordering 24/7, online retailers, pre-sorting and packing all orders, and fast turn around.
