We are very excited to continue The Friends of Oasis Academy’s (FOA) fundraiser – Scrip! What is Scrip and why is it so great?
_
Scrip is a popular fundraiser because families don’t have to sell anything. Organization members produce revenue by making regular household purchases they would make anyway. Groceries, clothing, toys, gifts, even gasoline can be purchased with scrip. Each card purchased carries an associated “contribution” of 2-15% or more.

That’s right! You can purchase Scrip for the stores you make regular purchases at and it benefits Oasis Academy! You do not pay any extra for scrip cards, you buy them at face value and get to spend the entire amount purchased. The merchants then graciously send back a percentage of that card to the school. Each merchant determines their own amount given back to the school. For example, Old Navy gives back 14%, you buy their card for $100, you spend the $100 and Oasis Academy gets a rebate of $14. It really is that simple While we recognize purchasing and using Scrip will take some additional planning on your part, using Scrip not only benefits the school, it also might benefit your family’s budget.
