What is Scrip?

Scrip are gift certificates issued by stores, restaurants and service providers that you are already shopping at, or using. St. Brendan Parent Organization is able to buy these certificates at a negotiated discount and exchange them for your cash at full face value. The discount which ranges from 2% to over 25% is the contribution retained by St. Brendan.

Is it easy to use?

Yes! Use Scrip just like cash. There is no difference between Scrip and cash when you go shopping, except you are using gift certificates, or cards, to purchase your items.

What’s the catch?

There isn’t one! That’s the great thing about using Scrip! It doesn’t cost you a thing! For example, you buy $500.00 worth of QFC gift cards from Scrip for one month’s worth of groceries. Our organization bought the certificates for $475.00, so QFC, in essence, donated $25.00 to our school! You received $500.00 worth of certificates to buy $500.00 worth of groceries.
