Starting a FundScrip group at the beginning of the school year is one of the most effective ways to build strong fundraising momentum. As families settle back into routines, they’re already planning for regular seasonal expenses such as school supplies, groceries, gas, extracurricular activities, and family outings.

Gift cards are one of the most flexible and appreciated gifts for almost any occasion. Whether celebrating a birthday, wedding, baby shower, or simply saying thank you, gift cards allow recipients to choose exactly what they want or need.
