What is scrip?
“Scrip” is a synonym for “gift card.” It’s just like what you find at retailers and at various supermarkets (the stand with all those plastic gift card options on it). RaiseRight was formerly known as “Shop With Scrip” and now uses the terms “gift card” and “eGift card” on its fundraising platform.
How is buying scrip beneficial to Or Chadash?
When you buy gift cards through RaiseRight, you get the full amount of what you bought. For example, you pay $100 for a $100 gift card. Or Chadash benefits by receiving a percentage of what you spent from RaiseRight.
What percentage does Or Chadash get?
The percentage that Or Chadash receives depends on the retailer; they are all different. For example, ShopRite gives 4%, while L.L. Bean gives 16%.

What does the deadline mean?
When you see an email indicating a deadline by which to order, that is the date that the coordinator will submit the group orders to RaiseRight. Currently, the order deadline is always the 15th of the month.
When do I get my gift cards?
Plastic gift cards arrive 2- 3 days after the deadline. You will receive an email that the order is in with times and options for getting it from the coordinator, Christine Berg.
Can RaiseRight mail me my scrip?
Ship To Home is an option that does not involve the coordinator. Once you have an online account and link banking information, you can place orders for plastic gift cards through Ship To Home. This service adds $8.50 to
$16.00 for shipping cost, depending on the number of gift cards ordered.
Does gift cards expire?
Gift cards never expire. You can carry a balance on a gift card, and they are like cash.
What are eGift cards?
EGift cards are electronic gift cards that you can order and print within minutes. Not every retailer offers eGift cards, but there is a long list of participating retailers on the RaiseRight website. You place your order. You pay with banking account. Within minutes, you receive an email that your printable certificate is available in your Wallet in your account.
What is “reload”?
You can buy reloadable gift cards. You can find the list of reload retailers, and choose this option when you order. You must buy a gift card from this program; then you can register it and name it to be able to reload funds onto it. The funds are reloaded overnight when you pay by banking account, credit card, or debit card. The funds are reloaded after the order deadline when you pay by check.
What does Or Chadash stand to earn?
If members can purchase gift cards regularly, Or Chadash stands to earn thousands of dollars every year! Consider: $400 of ShopRite gift cards earns Or Chadash $16. If 50 families purchase $400 of ShopRite gift cards each month for a year, Or Chadash will make: $9,600. We don’t spend any more than we might otherwise, while Or Chadash
earns significant earnings from our combined fundraising efforts!
