What is Scrip?
Adapted from Great

Scrip is a term that means "substitute money". When
Providence families purchase scrip, they're purchasing
negotiable gift certificates that are used just like cash.
The scrip is issued by the national and local retailers
where many of our families already shop. These
merchants want to support non profit organizations, and in
return ask us to support them by shopping with scrip at
their stores. Providence families can use scrip to
purchase everyday expenses like food, clothing, and other essentials, and with every purchase, they
earn revenue for Providence Christian School.
The reason for the effectiveness of scrip is simple:
families generate revenue through purchases they would make anyway.
Groceries, clothing, toys, gifts, even gasoline can be purchased
with scrip. An organization of 150 families easily spends between
one and two million dollars per year on food, clothing and other
essentials. If these families use scrip for these purchases, they
can raise as much as $40,000 to $80,000 per year for their
organization --without spending an additional penny.
Therefore, we need our families to use the
scrip program as much as possible. This is a simple
way families can help us raise money for our school.
