“Fundraising while you shop”. The days of going door-to-door selling wrapping paper, cookie dough, and coupon books are behind you. Scrip turns everyday shopping into fundraising for St. John Vianney just by paying with a gift card.
Instead of paying cash or using credit/debit cards, purchase Scrip cards (gift cards) and use them for your regular household expenses, for vacations, and traveling. Select from a wide variety of restaurants, gas stations, hotels, department stores, movie theatres and specialty stores. When family and friends take advantage of the scrip program, SJV earns profit!
Here’s how it works. Scrip is a national gift certificate fundraising program. Consumers purchase gift cards at face value through the scrip program but will earn an immediate rebate percentage for SJV that’s typically between 3% and 15% depending on the retailer. Then the consumer will use that gift card on their normal purchases. No extra money was spent! It’s fundraising while you shop! For example: A Pick N Save card valued at $100 has a 4% donation rate. When this card is purchased through SCRIP, $4 is donated to SJV. When this gift card is redeemed at a Pick N Save store, the value of received merchandise is $100.

Profits earned from the sale of gift cards are split 50/50 with SCRIP customers. Participants in the St. John Vianney SCRIP program may choose from three options how they wish to receive or use their portion of the profit:
Participants need to complete the Profit Designation Form and return to St. John Vianney’s parish or school office.
Example: Using the Pick N Save example, the $100 gift card purchased earns a 4% rebate. The participant uses the card for the full $100. The profit earned is $4.00: SJV Home and School Association received $2.00 and the participant designates the remaining $2.00 profit.
