SCRIP (School Cash Rebate Incentive Program) is another name for
gift cards. As a non-profit organization, Green Meadow is able to buy
these gift cards at discounts ranging from 3% to 22% from a variety of
retailers and then sell them at face value. The retailers thus make
tax-deductible contributions to our school, and through the combined
results of our purchases, thousands of dollars are raised for Green
Meadow at absolutely no additional cost to the purchasers. The SCRIP
program is run by parents and offers varied opportunities for those
interested in volunteering.
All families at Green Meadow are asked to purchase $300 each month
in SCRIP, which is easy when using SCRIP for groceries or for large
purchases like airline tickets or home furnishings. We encourage you
to participate in auto-SCRIP: just give us a standing order and we will
charge your credit card monthly and send home your SCRIP for the month
on the second Wednesday of each month.
Click here for an alphabetical list of participating retailers or here for the list by category. SCRIP from the stores on these lists takes one week to receive.
Email scrip@gmws.org to sign up for auto-SCRIP or order SCRIP, or send in your green bag on Wednesday morning with your child and receive your SCRIP that same afternoon. To print a SCRIP order form, click here.
Remember that SCRIP costs you nothing extra; for example, you are
still paying $100 for a $100 gift card. But because we have purchased
the cards at a discount, you are earning important funds for Green
Meadow and supporting Tuition Assistance when you buy SCRIP from us.
For questions regarding our SCRIP program, please contact Ingrid Foik, Parent SCRIP Coordinator, at ingfoik@yahoo.com or 845-201-8341.
