FVHS Scrip Fundraising Program

Administered by the Fountain Valley Royal Regiment (FVRR)

What is Scrip?
Scrip is just another term for gift cards. Scrip fundraising is an easy, no-selling program that allows families to raise money for FVHS activities by using gift cards, or scrip, to pay for everyday purchases.

How Scrip Works
Families buy gift cards at face value from the FVHS Scrip Fundraising Program (administered by the Fountain Valley Royal Regiment), and FVRR purchases the scrip for less than face value through RaiseRight.  FVHS/FVRR keeps the difference, and that’s how money is raised.

Rebate Credits
For each card purchased, the rebate credit is calculated and is split 75% to your program or student account, and 25% to FVRR for administration.   As an example, for each $100 of Albertson’s scrip purchased, the 4% rebate (or $4) is split $1.00 to FVRR, and $3.00 to your program or student account.

Rebates can add up quickly for regular monthly living expense such as gasoline, groceries, restaurants, home maintenance, entertainment, etc.  Popular retailers include Target, Walmart, Amazon, ARCO, Shell, Starbucks, Albertsons, Stater Bros., Chipotle, Jamba Juice, Kohl’s, and more!  

FVRR Rebate Credits to Student Accounts
FVRR credits the 75% rebate credit share directly to your FVRR student account to offset contributions, instrumental rental, trips, transportation, etc.  So the more scrip you purchase, and the more you can get your family and friends to purchase, the less you will owe in contributions.

Rebate Credits to Other FVHS Booster Clubs and Activities
Several FVHS sports and on-campus activities like Aquatics, Baseball, Basketball, Water Polo, Theater, and Dance participate in the fundraising opportunity scrip has to offer as well.  Each booster club has its own policies with respect to how the 75% of the rebate credit is applied, whether to the general fund (which keeps your student contributions down) or to the individual student accounts, so ask your booster club treasurer for more information.

When Can I Purchase Scrip?
