Home / Features / Scrip Gift Card Program
Your families already spend thousands monthly at Publix, Amazon, and Costco. A scrip program routes those purchases through gift cards — and your school earns 3–6% on every dollar, forever.
*Card-volume thresholds apply by institution type.
The problem
The dinner, the appeal, the raffle, the auction — families feel tapped out. Scrip raises money without asking anyone to give more.
Traditional scrip programs mean paper order forms, envelope cash, card distribution tables, and a burned-out volunteer coordinator.
Without reminders and easy reordering, even enthusiastic families drift away after a few months.
What 613OS does
Families order physical or e-gift cards from hundreds of retailers through your school's branded portal — no paper forms.
The retailer discount (typically 3–6%) flows to your school on every order, tracked and reported automatically.
Families set their monthly grocery card order once. Passive income compounds without anyone remembering to reorder.
Let scrip earnings offset each family's tuition or fundraising obligation — the strongest participation driver there is.
Class competitions and school-wide thermometers turn passive fundraising into friendly engagement.
Orders, fulfillment, and rebate tracking run through the platform. Your volunteer coordinator gets their life back.

Works together with
✦ Quick answer
Scrip and gift card fundraising lets families buy gift cards for stores they already shop at — groceries, gas, retailers — with a percentage flowing to the school automatically. Families spend what they'd spend anyway; the institution earns on every card. 613OS runs the program digitally, without paper card inventory.
Questions
Families buy a grocery gift card at face value and spend it at face value; the retailer's rebate — often several percent — flows to the school. Spending that was happening anyway becomes fundraising, painlessly and repeatedly.
Kosher groceries and the retailers families already use weekly drive the volume. 613OS emphasizes local community merchants alongside national brands, which also strengthens the school's relationships with neighborhood businesses.
No. The program runs digitally — orders, delivery, and rebate tracking happen in the platform, eliminating the envelope-of-cards logistics that killed many parent-run scrip programs.
That's your policy choice. Some schools credit a share of each family's scrip rebates against tuition or fundraising obligations — the system tracks per-family totals either way.
