WHAT IS RaiseRight?
Shop with Scrip is a program that allows you to purchase eGift cards (ScripNow) at face value onRaiseRight.com or from your mobile smartphone using the RaiseRight app and earn rebates that credit your child’s Charms account. You can even send the gift to your friend directly from the site.
NOTE: We will not process any orders for physical (“tangible”) gift cards. If orders for tangible cards are received they will be cancelled.
HOW DO THE REBATES WORK?
Easily pay online and earn a rebate between 2% and 16% that goes toward funding to your child’s Charms account. If no child is specified, the rebate will be applied towards the Friends of Music program general fund. Credits will be noted in your Charms account once each month.

Email FriendsofMusicTreasurer@gmail.com with your child’s name and choir to request the enrollment code, then click on the link provided in the email sent to you. Then proceed to enroll and create a login or navigate to RaiseRight.com and select Join a Program.
Q: HOW DO I ENSURE THAT MY FAMILY MEMBER WHO IS IN THE OAK CHOIR GETS CREDIT FOR MY PURCHASE?
A: Once logged in, navigate to Account Settings – Profile. On the profile page, there is a section to identify the Student Name and Group. This will ensure your child is credited for the purchase. If, at any time you have questions regarding the credit, email FriendsofMusicTreasurer@gmail.com.
Q: WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS FOR PAYMENT?
A: PrestoPay electronic bank debit ($0.15 service fee) or Credit Card (2.6% service fee).
Please note, the Shop with RaiseRight program has a Pay by Check function, but at this time we will not be using it. You must enroll and select either PrestoPay or pay by credit card to process your RaiseRight purchases.
Q: WHAT IS PRESTOPAY?
A: PrestoPay is a debit link to your bank account. With this payment method, orders are immediately processed for a nominal $0.15 service fee. View video on How to Set Up Presto Pay.
Q: HOW DO I GET RAISERIGHT PURCHASES?
A: There is no-need to wait for eGift Cards if you sign up for PrestoPay. You can even choose to purchase eGift cards on your phone using the RaiseRight app on your smartphone while you are shopping at the store.
Q: WHY CAN’T I ORDER TANGIBLE GIFT CARDS?
A: There is a lot more work and expense involved in ordering, organizing, and distributing tangible (physical) gift cards. We are going to focus on eGift Cards (also known as ScripNow) during this school year.
If an order is placed for a tangible gift card the order will need to be cancelled by the Scrip Coordinator. If the order for a tangible gift card has been paid using PrestoPay, the Scrip Coordinator will attempt to resolve the order directly with the user during the current month. If the order cannot be resolved before month-end, the order will be cancelled and the money cannot be reimbursed to the individual by Great Lakes Scrip nor by FOM. The person who placed the order for the tangible gift card will need to reach out to the Scrip Coordinator and determine how to purchase e-gift cards to redeem the value of the original purchase. If e-cards are not purchased with the outstanding balance by the end of the school year the amount will be considered a donation to FOM.
Q: I HAVE MORE QUESTIONS, WHERE CAN I GET MORE HELP?
A: Detailed instructions are available using the Shop with RaiseRight Family Guide or you can email FriendsofMusicTreasurer@gmail.com with any additional questions.
