If you currently run a local currency program, you know what a great feeling it is when you walk into your local merchants with a check each month. They smile. You smile. They associate your organization with receiving money instead of just asking for it.
What if you could do the same thing with your neighborhood schools?
Wouldn’t it feel great to see the big smiles on your principals’ faces, as well as the educators, and the leadership of the Parent Teacher Association?
Now you can with Scrip Fundraising.
How Does Scrip Fundraising Work?
It works the same way your local currency does but instead of selling the certificate on your site, it’s being sold at the school’s and among the school community. For their work in sharing the information and hosting the sale, the school receives a small portion of the funds from each sale. Purchasers of the currency then go to your local merchants and spend like they would with your local currency. It’s just another way to get the word out and help another community organization.
