SCRIP Program
Scrip is a way for you to make money as you spend it! It is one of the easiest fundraisers the school has in place. The school, you, and the merchants who participate all benefit from the Scrip program.
The Cotter Business & Scrip Office purchases gift certificates (Scrip) from local and national merchants at a discount. We sell these certificates at full face value to you. The profit that is made when we sell the certificates is turned around and given back to you. Families receive 60% of the profit and Cotter receives 40%. You receive the credit on your tuition, child care or hot lunch account. You can also choose to donate the credit to a friend or family member's account, the school or your parish.

Raise Right (formerly ShopWithScrip)
A variety of national merchants are available in addition to the merchants kept on hand in the SCRIP Office. Those merchants can be seen on the Raise Right Website and App. We order national merchant cards early in the week to be delivered by Friday. Email or call the SCRIP Office at 507-453-5112 to place those orders. Many vendors also have ScripNow! (instant paper or electronic cards that work just like plastic cards) that can be purchased if you have an immediate need. On the Raise Right Website you can sign up for Presto Pay and ScripNow, or email the Cotter Business Office to have them ordered for you. Many of these can be available the same day you order them, if needed.
