RaiseRight Gift Cards

What's Great About This Fundraiser

• Minimal time commitment. Less time consuming than selling goods or recruiting volunteers.

• Convenient. Use it at stores where you already shop, rather than having to switch to a specific retailer. 

• Flexible. Access store credit via the RaiseRight app on your phone, or have physical gift cards sent to your address. 

• Fast. E-gift cards usually activate right away--buy a gift cards while waiting for a table at the Cheesecake Factory, then use the gift card to pay for the meal.

• Visible results. Check your earnings anytime in the app. 

• Friends and extended family can earn for your student. As long as the main family is a SABPA member, anyone in your family or friend group can purchase and earn credit for your traveling student.

• No cost. Band families and their extended friends and family get the full face value of the gift cards at stores where they already shop. They don't take on any additional expense to earn funds for band students. 

What Is Gift Card (Scrip) Fundraising?

Gift card fundraising, also known as scrip fundraising, has been the #1 fundraiser for nonprofit organizations across the U.S. for more than 25 years, according to RaiseRight. In this model, an organization purchases scrip (store credit/gift certificates) from a merchant at a discount, parents buy the scrip at face value, and the organization keeps the difference in price. Merchants are happy to participate because they're securing customers along with goodwill advertising. 

Benefits of the RaiseRight App

Instead of just working with a single retailer or handful of local stores, SABPA uses the RaiseRight app. RaiseRight gives members access to hundreds of popular retail stores where they already shop, like Home Depot, Starbucks, Giant Eagle, Amazon, and McDonalds.
