ACA Shopping Card Program

This fundraising program works by supporters paying for their shopping (groceries, gas, home & garden, entertainment, restaurants, and much more) with gift cards. Each purchase automatically includes a donation to our school of a percentage of the gift card value.
​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).
​When you purchase a $100 grocery gift card, you receive the $100 card, ​but in addition, a percentage is donated back to our school.

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. 
​
Your are not out of pocket even as you shop where you would normally shop.
​BUY $100, GET $100
Buy cards at face value,
​get face value at the retailers
you lose nothing
SHOP AS USUAL
With cards from leading retailers, there's no need to change your shopping habits
PAY WITH GIFT CARDS
Pay with gift cards instead of credit/debit/cash for your everyday items & gifts
RAISE FUNDS
Each purchase automatically includes a donation to ACA that can quickly add up over time

Payment Methods
  • ELECTRONIC FUNDS TRANSFER (EFT)
    Direct debit from your account. The best and easiest way to pay. No fees. 
    LEARN MORE about Electronic Funds Transfer -->

  • ONLINE BILL PAYMENT SERVICE
    No fees, but funds must be received by FundScrip prior to processing. Please allow 3 business days.
    LEARN MORE about Online Bill Payment -->

  • CREDIT CARD
    Donations are reduced by 1.99%.
    This means that if you use this payment on cards that only have a 2% donation rate to the school, there will be no monies raised for that purchase.
WHY SWITCH FROM CREDIT CARD TO EFT?
​At FundScrip, we offer both Visa & Mastercard. However, donations are lowered by 1.99%, which is a significant amount especially if you are purchasing groceries (3%) and gas (2%) which are the backbone of our program. Some people then decide not to use Fundscrip because they won’t make much money.
​
But What If We Can Give You a Few Good Reasons to Switch That Make Lots of Sense?
​
  • Cash back on credit cards programs are usually only 1%
  • FundScrip offers you 2% - 10% back in donations
  • You only have to sign up once and it’s set forever
  • Our supporters usually raise between $300 - $600 within a school year
  • You can raise over $1000 within 10 months with the help of friends & family
  • Our supporters love EFT because it has no fee and it’s the easiest way to pay
SHIPPING METHODS
  • Direct Shipping to the Canadian destination of your choice
  • Free Shipping on All Qualifying Orders!
    • FundScrip is offering Free Shipping on all Lettermail™ orders between $200 and $500. For those of you who may be new to Direct Shipping via Lettermail™, it allows you to have your FundScrip orders shipped directly to any Canadian address of your choice.
      ​
  • How Do I Qualify for the Lettermail™ Free Shipping Rebate?
    • Have four (4) or fewer cards in your order
    • Have between $200 and $500 as the total card value of the order
    • Select Direct Shipping via Lettermail™ as your shipping method
    • Checkout and you will see your Lettermail™ Free Shipping rebate

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.
