Scrip Program to Benefit Local Schools
A great way for parents to help raise money for their schools while doing their ordinary shopping! Similar to other scrip programs, Whole Foods Market’s Scrip program benefits local schools by offering a percentage of dollars purchased in-store by participating parents to schools. Our new scrip program operates through gift cards, which schools purchase at a discount and resell to parents. Parents who shop at Whole Foods Market can now do so with the gift cards, leaving the school with the benefit of the discounted amount, at no additional cost to parents. It benefits everybody!
- Scrip may be purchased in any denomination; schools will receive a 4% discount on the purchase. Our scrip is available on gift cards in $10, $25, $50 or $100 denominations. It is not necessary to spend the entire amount on the card in one purchase – your balance will remain on the card for future use. Our scrip is redeemable at all Whole Foods Markets across the nation.
- Schools may sign up for our School Scrip Program by contacting Karen Tara at karen.tara@wholefoods.com for an application form. Private schools must also submit a copy of their 501(c)3 letter from the IRS in order to complete the application. All public schools are eligible to apply.
