An Easy Way to Get Merchant Contributions

eScrip is a program in which participating merchants automatically donate up to 5% 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 the social and service activities that are organized by the PAC to support the school and its community (see introductory eScrip email to CAIS community).

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