How much can we earn?

A dramatic way to show the power of scrip is to think about your spending habits for your family.

How many of you spend at least $75 a week on groceries?

How many of you spend $50 a month on clothing?

How many of you spend $25 a week on gasoline?

How many of you spend $50 a month dining out?

Now, convert the weekly expenditures to monthly expenditures.

Food $75/week x 4 = $300/month

Clothing $ 50/month

Gas $25/week x 4 = $100/month

Dining out $ 50/month

Total $500/month x 12 months = $6000/year

The average portion of each scrip purchase that is earned by an organization with every scrip purchase is 5%. An average family, using these modest spending levels, would earn $300 each year for their non-profit organization. A family that works at the program by focusing their spending on scrip participating retailers with higher percentages can earn much more! Half of the proceeds you earn are credited to your tuition twice a year (December 1^st and May 1^st) using our example; you would earn $150 of tuition money for your family.
