ACA Shopping Card Program
|
Do you buy groceries, gas, household items, shop at department or renovation stores, do you eat in restaurants, go to the movies or need gifts for holidays, birthdays & special events? Please consider helping to raise funds for the school by using FundScrip, which is a fundraising program that lets you raise funds simply by purchasing gift cards for your every day shopping (i.e. groceries, gas, gifts and household items).

HOW It Works
The Basic Concept
If each ACA Family paid for their everyday expenses and gifts with gift cards bought from FundScrip, every one of their purchases would automatically include a donation to ACA. For each card purchased, a percentage (%) of that card purchased is donated back to the school. Each card has a specific % amount. These donations will apply to the $250 Family Fundraising Commitment ($100 for Kindergarten only Families). Your are not out of pocket even as you shop where you would normally shop.

View Participating Retailers
With our growing list of leading retailers, you can find gift cards for the basics like groceries and gas but, we also carry a large variety of other categories including: pharmacy, home improvement, department store, restaurants, pizza, coffee shops, household items, clothing stores, movies & books, travel, and more. All our gift cards come from the retailers themselves; so you can be certain they'll be accepted when you use them.
This makes it easy to pay for your day-to-day purchases with gift cards instead of cash, credit or debit.

About Fundscrip
OUR MISSION
FundScrip's mission is to make the world a better place by helping more non-profit groups reach their fundraising goals than anyone else by offering easy to manage, effective programs and solutions that maximize value for supporters and our suppliers. We have an ambitious mission and we recognize that many people involved will play critical roles in helping us achieve it. We understand that our members entrust us with their important assets from grocery & gas money to fundraising donations to brand reputation to personal information and so on. They also put their trust in us to keep our promises to them. To this end, we pledge to protect these assets and follow-through on our promises to each. OUR HISTORY FundScrip began in Montreal, Quebec in 2004 as a unique program targeting parents who wanted to save money for their children's education. Using virtually the same model we use today, parents would buy gift cards to pay for their everyday purchases to raise cash donations towards their children's RESP's. The program has since evolved to become a general fundraiser for groups as diverse as schools, churches & other faith-based organizations, sports teams & clubs, charitable foundations, community & service groups, etc. We look forward to expanding this list even more with the many new features and improvements we have scheduled for the platform. |
