Fundstream Inc. today released data that confirms the emergence of a new trend in school fundraising. Quebec schools are making increasing use of gift card fundraising programs to replace or complement traditional fundraising campaigns. FundScrip, the only gift card fundraising program offered in French, has seen anywhere from 40-60% year over year growth in the last three years to its gift card fundraising program among schools and educational institutions in Quebec.

For schools across Canada, the back-to-school season means it’s back to fundraising. With that in mind, more and more schools are benefiting from FundScrip, a program that makes it easy for schools to take advantage of the seasonal peak in fundraising activity.

Fundstream Inc. announced today the implementation of a new payment method for supporters using its FundScrip gift card fundraising program. The new method of payment, unique to FundScrip in gift card fundraising, Online Bill Payment Service, allows supporters of FundScrip registered not-for-profit groups and causes to pay for their orders through their online banking web sites without incurring any processing fees.

FundScrip President & CEO, Christopher Hill, sat down with CT Moore at PodCamp Montreal, and gave this short interview about FundScrip.
