ShopWithScrip (SGS Gift Card Program) is a year long fundraiser offered by St. Gabriel School. Gift cards are purchased at face value and earn a percentage credit back to the school; the credit amount depends on the retailer. 100% of the gift card profits goes toward SGS families fundraising obligation (up to $300). After families have reached $300 in profits, additional profits then go toward your tuition for the following year (up to $200).
For example:
Geissler’s offers a 5% credit. If you purchased $200 in Geissler’s gift cards, the school would receive $10 in credit. The $10 credit would be credited to your $300 annual family fundraising obligation.
