About the Jenison $CRIP Program
When you purchase RaiseRight, you're purchasing negotiable gift certificates that are used just like cash. The RaiseRight program is issued by the national and local retailers where many of our organization's families already shop. These merchants want to support non-profit organizations, and in return ask you to support them by shopping with RaiseRight at their stores. Our organization members can use RaiseRight to purchase everyday expenses like food, clothing, and other essentials, and with every purchase, they earn revenue for our organization.

How RaiseRight generates revenue for the Choir Boosters
The RaiseRight center acts on behalf of churches, schools and other non-profit organizations to purchase large amounts of $CRIP from grocery stores, department stores, and other retailers. Because the scrip is purchased with cash up front, the participating retailers offer a substantial discount. Our organization buys the RaiseRight from Great Lakes $CRIP Center at a discount, and re-sells the certificates to our organization members for full face value. The bulk of the discount - from two to fifteen percent or more - is retained by our organization as revenue.
