  Each day, OLMC families take advantage of SCRIP in everyday purchases to easily and automatically contribute funds to the OLMC PTO.  Whether you are buying groceries at Meijer, buying gifts or gift cards for Christmas, or enjoying a meal at a local restaurant, you can use SCRIP for these purchases.  Every purchase you make contributes directly to our school!

What is SCRIP

The SCRIP service provides physical and e-gift cards for you to use at businesses and non-profits.  SCRIP assigns a specific ‘rebate percentage’ based upon the business. 

For example, if your favorite store has a 5% rebate, SCRIP will pay OLMC PTO that 5% multiplied by the dollar amount of gift cards you purchase.  Your purchase amount is the face value of the gift cards.

What is the impact of SCRIP at OLMC

Each year, funds from this program are automatically available for OLMC PTO Projects and initiatives.  In prior years, the PTO used SCRIP proceeds to purchase chromebooks for our students.  

Stay tuned for the SY 2021-2022 SCRIP Impact Project!

The Impact of SCRIP on Our Families

While SCRIP provides an easy way to purchase gift cards, SCRIP also allows our school to keep book bills lower by receiving this revenue through purchases our families already make every day.

Because of this opportunity, OLMC expects each family to achieve $100 in rebates per year per family.  If SCRIP is not your choice, you may directly contribute $100 to OLMC via check with the note “SCRIP DONATION.”
 

The Best Ways to Use SCRIP

To get started, register with SCRIP online or via the Raiseright mobile application.  Please contact us at olmcscrip@olmc1.org for the enrollment code as we are not allowed to publish this code publicly.  Please also contact us if you run into any issues with registration or have any questions.  

Best: Raiseright Mobile App

You may download the “Raiseright” mobile app.  This app is the easiest way to buy gift cards especially if you would like to make SCRIP part of your daily life.

Better: Online Store

Visit www.shopwithscrip.com.  The website is good for purchasing large quantities of physical cards or for purchasing quick e-gift cards for online store purchases.

Good: Paper Form

Print and complete the OLMC SCRIP Order Form.   Please include a check payable to “OLMC PTO”, and place into an envelope labeled "ATTN: SCRIP".  Your child's teacher will be sure to get the envelope to the school office. 

Special Notes

1. All e-gift cards paid online will be immediately available to you within your account and Raiseright app!
2. Orders requesting ‘payment by check’ or any purchase of physical cards require the OLMC Scrip team to process your cards manually.  These manual SCRIP Orders are submitted the first and third Friday of each month; this process means your order may require up to three weeks for full processing.  This time period allows us to control costs.  During high volume times such as the holiday season, the team will process weekly on Fridays. Fulfillment of your order will be available by Thursday of the following week.
3. If you need expedited processing, please contact olmcscrip@olmc1.org.  
4. You can pick up all physical card purchases at the OLMC school office.  You will be notified by the SCRIP team when the office has your cards.

If SCRIP does not work for your family, you can meet your $100 profit goal by simply sending in a check for $100.  Please make check payable to OLMC PTO and note that it is a SCRIP Donation.

If you have any questions at all – or if you are new and want someone to walk you through the “getting started” process – please email us at olmcscrip@olmc1.org. 

Your SCRIP team is here to help!
