The eScrip program is a revolutionary fundraising program that allows participating merchants to contribute a percentage of your grocery loyalty cards, credit card, and debit/ATM card purchases to the Santa Clara Vanguard. (Search the eScrip merchant list for participating merchants and cards accepted by each merchant.) Paper-based fundraising programs have become a proven benefit to schools, churches, organizations, and to all the children involved with these participating organizations.

Now, the eScrip program brings an unprecedented ease of use and many other advantages to fundraising programs -- it's the best vehicle for simple, year-round fundraising. The eScrip program streamlines the whole fundraising process and puts everyone -- the organization, the members, and their parents -- in the winner's circle.

The eScrip program is simple, convenient, and effective

• Supporters register any or all of their existing debit and credit cards for use in the program.
• Participating national, regional and local merchants will make contributions to enrolled organizations, based on purchases made by supporters, who use their registered debit and credit cards. The eScrip program will continually contract new merchants.
• By using these registered cards at participating merchants, supporters generate donations based on a percentage of purchases as determined by each merchant or service provider.
• Every month the Santa Clara Vanguard receives all merchant contributions made on behalf of all participants, as well as a summarized report listing supporters, merchants, and contributions amounts.

Electronic Scrip Incorporated (ESI) is a California-based corporation dedicated to establishing relationships between commerce and community -- to provide resources to organizations and projects that support children.
