What is RaiseRight?
RaiseRight, formerly known as Scrip, is a fundraising program that allows us to raise money for our band program and Disney trip through everyday purchases. We can buy gift cards for popular retailers at face value, and a percentage of each purchase is donated to back to us. That’s it - No selling anything! There over 700 retailers available on RaiseRight.com, including all of your favorite stores - gift cards for gas, groceries, clothing stores, restaurants, home improvement, entertainment, and more. Use it for yourself or give it as a gift. You can buy an e-gift card or a plastic gift card.
How Does it Work?
How Do I Need To Do?
Download the App
Find RaiseRight in the Apple App Store, Google Play Store or on their website.
Enroll with the Forest Hills Central Band Boosters group
When prompted, use the code URPZDDNKFIZK to link your account to our group. It will also prompt you to link your account to a student.
Link RaiseRight to a Payment Source
Yes, you will have to link your account to a payment source to buy gift cards. RaiseRight offers 3 options, with different transaction fees (fees are added to the price of the gift card):
Bank account ($0.29 fee per transaction)
Debit card (1% fee per transaction)
Credit card (3% fee per transaction)
Shop at your favorite stores!
That’s it! You are ready to start shopping at your favorite stores and earn money for your student! RaiseRight offers gift cards for most major stores (see the list here, with earning percentage) and makes the purchasing experience quick and convenient. Be aware, RaiseRight has sales where the earning percentage changes!
RaiseRight e-gift cards are available in the app almost instantly and can be used right away, making them the best choice for your every day shopping and online orders. Physical gift cards are shipped from RaiseRight and can take up to 4 weeks to be delivered to your house, so those are better to give as gifts when you can plan ahead.
For every dollar you earn through RaiseRight, 90% will go into an account for your student, while 10% will go into the Ricky Ranger Fund, which the Band Boosters use to provide financial assistance for families in need. You can choose to use the funds in your student’s account to pay for Band Camp, trips, or anything else that requires payment.
Even Better - Shop at the same stores you already do!
RaiseRight works best when you use it at places you already shop! Need groceries from Meijer? Buy an e-card from RaiseRight for the amount you are already going to spend, then use that card to pay for your groceries. You spend the same amount and you earn a percentage for student to use toward the band program!
Can Friends and Family Help?
Of course! You can invite them through the app, or share the enrollment code above with them. Their purchases will go into your student’s account as well.
