What Is Scrip?

Scrip is a term that means “substitute money”. When you purchase scrip, you’re purchasing negotiable gift certificates and prepaid cards that are used just like cash. You can use scrip to purchase everyday expenses like food, clothing, groceries, gas and other essentials - even things "on sale", and with every purchase, you earn revenue for our organization.

How scrip generates revenue for CASA of Laramie County

The Great Lakes Scrip Center and ScripCents act on behalf of churches, schools and other non-profit organizations to purchase large amounts of scrip from grocery stores, department stores, and other retailers. Because the scrip is purchased with cash or a credit card up front, the participating retailers provide purchasers with equal value certificates or gift cards and offer an incentive percentage contribution (sometimes substantial) to the sponsoring organization. CASA of Laramie County buys the scrip from Great Lakes Scrip Center and ScripCents and re-sells the certificates to families like yours for full face value and you shop as usual at your favorite retailers. The incentive - from two to fifteen percent or more – is our organization’s revenue.

Scrip is "shopping cart fundraising”

Scrip is a popular fundraiser because individuals/families don’t have to sell anything. CASA supporters and their friends produce revenue by making regular purchases they would make anyway. You decide how much as groceries, clothing, toys, gifts, even gasoline can be purchased with scrip. Plan ahead for yourself or for gifts (especially at holidays) - it's easy, fun, and a painless way to show your support of the CASA program to provide advocacy for abused and neglected children.
