Scrip

12-17-13 I am submitting the Scrip information to the school. We have to wait 2 days to see if the Scrip program will accept us and then we are good to go. Sorry this took so long. Thank you Roxanne and Mr. Orcott for all your support with this. I hope these stores that I choose are fine with the group. See list below. I know we talked about doing 20 stores but I could not narrow it down that far.

I feel I am on the right track. Nothing new and fun comes easy right so I have some obstacles to over come. Do you know if we have ACH checking, ACH saving, or paper checks?

And yes, I found were we need to be a non for profit org but I here is a list of documents we can pick from that maybe we can get this to proceed. I figure if other schools can do this why can't we. We need: a copy of IRS stating we are 501(c)3 organization or Letter of determination from state of WI recognizing us as a non-profit org. or an opinion from an attorney or CPA stating your status as a non-profit. or If you do not have any of these, please porvide a statement, on your organization's letterhead, indicating the purpose of your fundraising activiites so we can verify your non-profit status.

Also, if everyone is alright with it, I don't mind being the one to organize the orders and get them off to parents.

Any questions, let me know. Kelly Horton 920-650-2316

Here is the information I received from the Scrip program. Click on the links below and there are full videos to help answer questions. I can have all the information available at the meeting on the 9th. They have a full retailer list on their website and I will have the list Monday night for all to see. I will try to highlight some that are in our area but right now there maybe some on-line shopping going on so we may not want to limit our list to just our area stores. Let me know if you have any questions. Thank you.

Here’s the formula for scrip fundraising. Great Lakes Scrip Center supplies the retailer gift cards that your organizations families order. They pay full face value for each card and redeem them at full face value. Your organization pays us less than full face value, anywhere from 2- 15% or more depending on the retailer, and keeps the difference. Your funds start growing from the very first order!
