Scrip
RaiseRight, originally known as ShopWithScrip, was founded in 1994 by two Michigan mothers, Carol Smith and Carol Burgess. The company focuses on innovative fundraising solutions, primarily through gift card fundraising, to support schools, churches, teams, and other organizations across the United States. RaiseRight offers a digital platform that allows organizations to purchase gift cards from major retailers at discounted rates. The difference between the face value and the purchase price is kept by the organization as fundraising revenue. With partnerships with numerous national retailers, RaiseRight provides a wide range of gift cards and has introduced an online shopping feature that enables participants to earn additional funds. The company serves over 50,000 organizations, helping them raise over $900 million since its inception, with nearly $34 million earned in 2024 alone.
