Parents and teachers from Warman Community Middle School (WCMS) in Saskatchewan raised roughly $8,600 with FundScrip in just one order using paper order forms. The local community newspaper, Clark’s Crossing Gazette, featured the fundraising achievement. With the ultimate goal of raising $7, 500 for their extracurricular program, Greg Tebay, the principal of WCMS, issued a challenge where he would sleep on the roof of the school if the fundraising goal was met. Exceeding their expectations, the goal was surpassed after only one order.

Great news for group administrators; group orders now have downloadable receipts in PDF format. You can download receipts for all group orders, and for individual supporter orders that have been placed by an administrator in the Group Administration Site. To access the receipts, simply visit the Order Details page of any order in the Group Administration Site, and you'll have the option to download a receipt for the entire group order, or individual receipts for each supporter order.

Estevan Mercury, a newspaper from Sasketchewan, recently featured a story about Hillcrest School, a FundScrip group.

FundScrip is excited to announce that, as of today, supporters can take advantage of recurring orders with Direct Shipping. Instead of being tied to their group’s ordering schedule, supporters can now easily set up a recurring order that is processed every week, and delivered to their address of choice via Direct Shipping.

The FundScrip gift card fundraising program has enabled École Vision Beauce, a trilingual private school focused on preschool and primary education in Ste-Marie in Quebec, to raise more than thirteen thousand dollars for the expansion of their playground.

Today, we are thrilled to share this message from Warren Robertson, Director of Residential Services at Community Living Sarnia–Lambton (CLSL) in Ontario.

We recently received terrific news from École Félix-Leclerc and we are delighted to share it with all of you. Back in June 2014, supporters had already raised more than $6,000 for a students trip to the Alps slated for 2016. In less than one year, supporters have added more than $8,000 to that number for a total of $15,506.30 to to date, the campaign will officially wrap up in 2016. That is quite impressive!

We recently received this letter from the École d'éducation international in McMasterville, Quebec and we are very pleased to share the letter with you all. Raising $10,000 in 4 months is certainly a stellar feat and it's only the beginning! Congrats!
