Summer is the best time to kick back, relax, and enjoy the beautiful weather. That means some of us take a little summer break, including our amazing and dedicated FundScrip group administrators! In order to help all you group administrators out there keep raising money for your groups throughout the summer, even if you’re taking a break, we’ve put together a few tips on how to raise more for the summer.

Review Your Group's Ordering Schedule

First, if your group uses an ordering schedule, you need to review your group’s schedule to make sure it fits with your summer plans. Some groups prefer to modify their ordering schedule, others suspend their schedule temporarily, or you may want to simply change the delivery address for the summer. Please contact us if you need to make changes to your ordering schedule.

Try Using Direct Shipping for the Summer

With Direct Shipping, your supporters can continue ordering gift cards during the summer. Each Direct Shipping order can contain up to four cards, for a total value of up to $500, and the shipping costs are only $0.92 plus applicable taxes.

Supporters can create a recurring order, or simply order as needed, and the cards will be delivered directly to their home. It’s an easy way to keep raising funds throughout the summer without too much effort!
