FundScrip.
Fundscrip is a program that uses gift cards rather than cash to purchase regular items like clothing, gas and groceries. Those participating companies then contribute a percentage of the gift cards purchased to the school. It is a user-friendly, no-cost fundraising tool.
How Fundscrip works:
Christian Life School has established an account with Fundscrip (Account # R3VNN4). When you buy a gift card and use it in a store you build credit dollars in Fundscrip that go directly towards the school. These funds are used for the financial assistance program, purchasing equipment, and renovations etc. Please read below to see how easy it is to use, and sign up today!
Fundscrip easy, can be set up automatically, or can be used when you know you’ll be making a large purchase that you could in term bless the school without any additional cost to you. Order cards online, and they will be shipped to your home. You can set up your own order schedule. The Christian Life School code is R3VNN4. Please enter this when signing up.
