How scrip generates revenue for DCS Montessori
The Great Lakes Scrip Center acts on behalf of churches, schools and other non profit organizations to purchase large amounts of scrip from grocery stores, department stores, and other retailers. Because the scrip is purchased with cash up front, the participating retailers offer a substantial discount. Our organization buys the scrip from Great Lakes Scrip Center at a discount, and re-sells the certificates to you for full face value. The discount from two to fifteen percent or more – is our organization’s revenue. [Click here to see the Estimated Annual Scrip Program Revenue for DCS Montessori.]

Scrip is "shopping cart fundraising”
Scrip is a popular fundraiser because families don’t have to sell anything. Organization members produce revenue by making regular household purchases they would make anyway. Groceries, clothing, toys, gifts, even gasoline can be purchased with scrip.

Presto Pay Perks / SAVE MONEY ON YOUR TUITION and CLASS FEES!

Really!  Each time you pay with Presto Pay, you will be charged a nominal fee of 39 cents.  We want to give you that back AND MORE!  So we will credit your child's account with 20% of the Rebate Amount on your purchases.  Credits will be posted in July of each year.  What does this look like?

Let's say your family spends this on average per week:

$100 in groceries at King Soopers or Safeway

$50 in gas at King Soopers

$25 in coffee / breakfast at Starbucks

$50 on clothing (Kohl's, GAP, Dillards, Express, Gymboree, + + +)
