Fundscrip is Clairlea's latest fundraising effort. It costs you nothing - except a bit of planning ahead.
It works like this: you buy gift certificates for the stores that you already shop in - for example Metro, No Frills, Loblaws, Canadian Tire, Indigo, The Bay, Bath and Body Works, Home Depot, Starbucks, Swiss Chalet, Shoppers Drug Mart, Roots, Winners... the list is long! Clairlea receives between 3% and 7% back, depending on the retailer (sometimes it's as high as 12%), and you shop just as you normally would - except using your gift cards to pay for your purchases.
Place your gift card order online (when registering, use code MGBJSW) and pick up your cards at school council meetings or have them sent home with your child. (You can also have the cards shipped directly to your home, but there is a shipping fee that erodes the profit.)
Order schedule for ship-to-school option:
