ESCRIP - Fundraising that's Easy and a Proven Success!

Newport PTSA has been generating more than $1,500 each year by using the eScrip program. The more parents, friends and family members that register, the more EASY money that PTSA receives. The money generated goes to Grad Knight for the current graduating year. Contact Teresa Pates for more information kplus4@msn.com

How does the eScrip program work?

* Supporters register any or all of their existing grocery loyalty, debit and credit cards for use in the program.

* Participating national, regional and local merchants will make contributions to enrolled organizations, based on purchases made by supporters, who use their registered grocery loyalty, debit and credit cards. The eScrip program will continually contract new merchants.

* By using these registered cards at participating merchants, supporters generate donations based on a percentage of purchases as determined by each merchant or service provider.

* Every month the enrolled organizations receive all merchant contributions made on behalf of all participants. A summarized report listing supporters, merchants, and contributions amounts are available online. Sign Up Now! https://secure.escrip.com/jsp/supporter/registration/step1.jsp

Code and name you will need: 8565142 Newport High School PTSA
