RaiseRight is a way to pay for everyday purchases using gift cards in place of cash, checks, and credit cards. Purchase gift cards through TJMS's program for various grocery stores, restaurants, department stores or gas stations and earn credit that earns money for the school and can help pay your child's school fees, athletic fees, or even pay for lunch! You buy the cards at face value and one-half of the profit earned goes into the JPG account and the other half goes into an account for your family to use for next year's school fees. It’s really that simple! There is no fundraising, no selling, no going door-to-door or taking order forms to work! When you use scrip gift cards at your favorite retailers, you're fundraising while you shop. There are more than 700 regional and national companies in the program.
For example, let's say that your purchase $50 Piggly Wiggly, $25 Walmart, $50 Cabela's and a $15 Apple gift card.
(Rebate percentages are subject to change. For up-to-date percentages, go to www.raiseright.com)
Piggly Wiggly gives back 3%, which for this sale = $1.50
Walmart gives back 2.5%, which for this sale = $0.63
Cabela's gives back 10%, which for this sale = $5.00
Apple gives back 5%, which for this sale = $0.75
The total profit for this order is $7.88. This means $3.94 goes to the JPG and the same amount goes into your school fee account! And that's just for one week; each time you buy it adds up. Many families get all of their fees pad for the school year and still have money left over that goes into their students' lunch accounts.
