Support the CAIS Parents Association Council Through eScrip

An Easy Way to Get Merchant Contributions

eScrip is a program in which participating merchants automatically donate from 1-7% of your purchases to the CAIS Parents Association Council (PAC) every time you shop - at no cost to you. Simply buy groceries, services, and products like you normally do using a credit card, debit card, or grocery card registered with eScrip. eScrip does the rest, tracking purchases through the cards you use and directing thousands of dollars a year to the CAIS PAC. This revenue funds social and service activities, such as Teacher Appreciation Day and CAIS Picnics, that are organized by the PAC to support the school and its community. Much more active eScrip participation by you and the rest of the school community is needed to expand this revenue so that the PAC can support student and classroom needs as well.

Participating merchants include both local stores (e.g. Safeway, Andronico's) and hundreds of major online stores (e.g. Amazon, Borders, eBay, Williams Sonoma, Babies R Us, OfficeMax, Expedia).

Four Simple Things You Can Do

FIRST, Sign Up: spend just 5 min to sign up for eScrip and register your Safeway, grocery, or major credit/debit cards. Note: Safeway cards must be registered with your account number, NOT phone number. See sign up directions below to retrieve your account number.

SECOND, Use eScrip AutoEARN: download and install eScrip's AutoEARN software onto your computer. AutoEARN will automatically direct participating online merchants to donate 1-7% of your purchases. An alternative way to generate donations is to access online vendors through eScrip's Online Mall website. If you choose this alternative, we recommend that you prominently bookmark the eScrip Online Mall and make a habit of going there BEFORE you make any online purchases. Note: eScrip donations from Amazon.com requires access through the Online Mall, since Amazon does not recognize AutoEARN.

THIRD, Update Your Cards: keep your registered card numbers up to date by editing your 'my eScrip' account when your cards or card numbers change.

FOURTH, Sign Up Friends and Relatives: Greatly magnify your contributions by getting grandparents, uncles, aunts, friends, and neighbors to sign up.
