Gift Card Fundraiser

By purchasing Gift Cards through Infant Jesus School, you can help raise funds for the school. Gift cards are available for local restaurants and stores.

You’re probably asking yourself how this help us raise money.  It’s simple -- participating retailers agree to sell gift cards to our school at a discount.  IJS will buy the gift cards from Great Lakes Scrip at a discount.  IJS families buy the gift cards for full face value, they redeem them for full face value, and our school keeps the difference as revenue.  You can find these discounts listed next to each retailer on the IJS Family Order Form.  This program is exciting, because everybody wins:

  • The retailer gets cash up front and repeat business…

  • You get a powerful fundraising alternative that involves no selling

  • Our school gets a regular source of revenue. 

The beauty of this program is that you put your regular household shopping dollars to work. You earn money for our school without spending a single additional penny.  Just spend your regular shopping dollars at the stores that participate in the program with the gift cards you purchase.  You can purchase gift cards for just about any household purchase including food, clothing, entertainment, gasoline and even dining out!

Enroll Now!

Fill out an enrollment form and send it into the office.

Ordering is easy!

Each week, complete and return the IJS Family Order Form with a check or money order payable to Infant Jesus School for the total amount of gift cards you are purchasing to the school office.  IJS Family Order Forms received by each Thursday will be fulfilled by the following Friday
