On September 25, 2025, the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) launched a national strike. Mail and parcels will not be processed or delivered and no new items will be accepted by Canada Post for the duration of the strike.
Arts programs offer students and communities the opportunity to express themselves, build confidence, and explore their talents. Yet, despite their value, arts initiatives are often among the first to face funding cuts when budgets are tightened.
World Teachers’ Day, celebrated on October 5, 2025, is the perfect opportunity to recognize the tireless dedication of educators. A simple gesture of appreciation can go a long way toward boosting morale and showing gratitude.
With September in full swing, schools, teams, and community groups enter a season filled with fresh starts and new goals. With renewed energy, clear purpose, and a community mobilized by back-to-school activities, it’s one of the best times of the year to launch a FundScrip fundraising campaign.
FundScrip’s back-to-school promotions are back! For a limited time, select gift cards will contribute an even greater percentage toward fundraisers, helping groups earn more with every purchase.
Social media has become a central part of how people communicate, connect, and share causes they care about. For FundScrip campaigns, this creates a great opportunity: using social media challenges to drive engagement and raise more funds for important projects.
With over a century of history, gift cards have undergone a remarkable transformation. What began as simple handwritten notes of credit, essentially “I owe yous”, has evolved into a multibillion-dollar industry. Their journey mirrors broader shifts in retail, technology, and consumer behaviour, culminating in new and powerful applications such as fundraising.
In today’s digital age, technology is essential for modern learning; however, keeping up with rapid innovation can be costly. While nearly all Canadian schools now use technology to some degree, some institutions lack the funding to keep their equipment current and reliable.
We're happy to announce that Simons electronic gift cards are now available!
