“As the treasurer for the PTA last year, I was easily able to use the Simplified SCRIP program to provide gift cards for drawings and thank you’s throughout the year. Not only was I able to send in the order and have it mailed directly to me, we were able to raise a lot of money for the school at the same time. Thanks for a great and extremely easy fundraising program!! The Principal said it is the best fundraiser the school has ever done. This is a program that all schools programs should be taking advantage of.”’

“We love the Simplified Scrip program! The response from parents has been fantastic! They have told us they are tired of the traditional fundraisers and don’t want to buy things they don’t need. Simplified Scrip allows them to earn money for our PTA without spending anything extra. We’ve been able to drop two of our fundraisers and replace them with Simplified Scrip. Parents also love the quick turnaround time on the gift cards. I’m amazed at how quickly they are mailed to my house!
The program was incredibly easy to implement and requires virtually no administrative time. The Simplified Scrip people keep track of everything and send us reports as we need them. There are no checks to deposit, order forms to process, or products to deliver – they take care of everything. The only time we invest is in promoting the program to parents and teachers with flyers and emails. The Simplified Scrip people have been so helpful in getting our program up and running and have continued to provide materials and ideas to keep our program going. They are great to work with and always very responsive to questions and requests. We’ve only been running the program a short time and generated a very nice income over the summer with no promotions. This program even works in the summer because no one is needed to run the program. Now that school is back in session and we’re promoting the program, we’ve seen a large increase in orders and income."

Now I can speak from experience. I ordered four cards last Friday and they came today. That is only 3 business days! How fun it was today to get them in the mail. It was like a present! So now I can very excitedly pass this on!

Let me get this straight! We order gift cards, and what we pay for is what we get? (besides a ridiculously small amount of shipping/postage). A $25 dollar gift card gets us a 25 dollar gift card! And then, the percentage proceeds come out of the merchants’ pockets to the school/group receiving donations! Corporations are willing to give a portion of proceeds to schools or organizations. What a great Program! I'm telling everyone I know. Inspiring!
Thanks,
David – Parent with Kids at Madison West High School
As a participant in the Simplified Scrip program I have found the customer experience to be very straightforward, easy, and smooth – a tribute to you and your staff. Heather Rice has been particularly helpful and responsive. This is very encouraging to me as I take over this program for Leopold!
Best Regards,
