"When my son started hockey and RaiseRight was offered as a way to lower our bill we decided to try it. That made a huge difference for us because it was convenient and easy. Now that we have another child in hockey it has helped a ton with our bill. All of those weekends traveling for sports, we can use hotels.com, restaurants, groceries and gas...things we have to do anyway, but now we earn money toward something our kids love to do!"

—Heidi, fundraises for her children’s sports teams

Still have questions?

What is scrip?

Scrip is defined as a substitute for legal tender or a form of credit and is also a term for gift card fundraising. RaiseRight was formerly called ShopWithScrip until 2022 when the company underwent a full rebrand.

Is there a fee to join?

No. Starting a program is free, with no minimum order requirements. To run a program, fees vary based on how your participants order and pay for gift cards.

Do we have to be a registered 501(c)(3) organization to join?

No. We do not require this information to start a program, but we do go through a manual approval process to make sure your organization is a U.S. community-based organization that isn’t for individual benefit or for-profit.

Why is a payment method required to set up a program?

Earnings are distributed to your organization, not the individual participants, so the payment method designates how these funds will go back to your organization. Think of it like setting up automatic payment for utilities or other ongoing services to provide a convenient and secure transfer of money.

How are physical gift cards delivered?

Our standard program offering includes the option to ship gift cards to the organization (recommended if ordering to sell from an inventory or have frequent orders that can be distributed regularly to participants). We also provide an option to ship gift cards direct to a participant’s home for an additional fee.

How do I find my organization’s enrollment code?

This is the unique code that is used by participants to track earnings to the correct organization. The code is provided to the program’s coordinator in the welcome email and also accessible via your account dashboard. If you are a participant, please see your program’s coordinator to access the code.

Can I use gift cards for online shopping?

Yes, you can use a gift card from RaiseRight for an online purchase. For many brands, you can even earn twice by shopping online through RaiseRight, then using a gift card from RaiseRight for payment.

Are there any brands that offer both gift cards and online earnings?

Yes. Currently, there are about 100 brands that offer both gift cards and online earnings through RaiseRight.
