SCRIP Fundraiser
How It Works
Scrip uses gift certificates that Saint Michael’s purchases from Great Lakes Scrip at a discounted rate. For instance, $500 of Spartan Scrip (gift cards) will be purchased from Great Lakes Scrip Co. for $490.00. Several parishioners will purchase it from Saint Michael’s for the face value of $500 and the extra $10 will be parish income. 25% of the income will be applied to the General Fund and the remaining 75% can be applied to one of the following: General Operating Fund, Building Fund, School Tuition, Tuition Assistance, Endowment Fund, Mission Trip/World Youth Day or for Faith Formation Fees. If these numbers seem small to you, think about if the whole parish purchased everything possible; gas, clothing, food, veterinary services, restaurants, fast food, movies, home improvement etc. through the SCRIP program. We probably wouldn’t need to tithe! The idea is the parishioners are spending the same money they would normally spend, but by a little planning ahead, the church and their choice of account gets a percentage.
