What is Scrip?

Scrip is the fundraising program that works while you shop. Scrip is simply a word that means “substitute money” – in other words, scrip is gift certificates from national and local retailers. They're the same gift certificates that you buy at the store. Many popular retailers participate in our scrip program including Marshall's, The Gap, Shell, Stop & Shop, 99 Restaurant and many, many others.

Scrip participating retailers agree to sell gift certificates to our organization at a discount. Member families buy the certificates for full face value, they redeem them for full face value, and our school keeps the difference as revenue. And scrip is exciting, because everybody wins:

  • The retailer gets cash up front and repeat business…
  • You get a powerful fundraising alternative that involves no selling
  • Our school gets a regular source of revenue.

The beauty of scrip is that you put your regular household shopping dollars to work. You earn money for our school without spending a single additional penny. Just spend your regular shopping dollars with scrip at the stores that participate in the scrip program! And scrip can be used for just about any household purchase including food, clothing, entertainment, gasoline and even dining out.

JFK Scrip Program’s Rules and Guidelines:


•  If you opt not to pay online, all scrip orders must be accompanied by a check or money order made payable to JFK C.A.P.T. Please do not send cash. Scrip payments are not tax deductible because you receive dollar for dollar value.

•  Scrip cards are purchased on your behalf, and are not returnable.

•  When you receive your scrip cards, open your order and verify its accuracy. In the unlikely event you should find a discrepancy in your scrip order, please contact the JFK Scrip coordinator within 7 days.

•  Scrip cards are the same as cash, and should be handled accordingly. JFK C.A.P.T. will not be responsible for cards that are lost, stolen or misplaced while in your possession.

•  If you ordered online, you must email your authorization to the Scrip coordinator before Scrip cards will be mailed to you or released with your child. If you placed your order using the order form, please indicate the method of delivery on the order form. These emails/forms will be saved and filed, and the Kennedy accepts no responsibility for Scrip cards delivered in this manner.
