What is Scrip Fundraising?  It’s fundraising while you shop!

Scrip fundraising is a no-selling program that enables families to raise money for their non-profi­t organization (NPO). Scrip is just another way to pay for everyday purchases using gift cards in place of cash, checks, and credit cards.

You purchase gift cards from your organization at face value, and your coordinator orders those cards from Great Lakes Scrip Center at a reduced price. Or, you can print off e-cards immediately from many of the participating stores and restaurants using ScripNow!  The difference is an instant rebate for your organization. It’s really that simple!

Great Lakes Scrip Center offers over 300 of the country’s biggest brands, including grocery, department stores, gas stations, restaurants, hotels, home improvement, and more. Just by using scrip to pay for your normal weekly purchases, you can easily raise $500 or more per year. It’s time to put your shopping dollars to work!  Please contact the Scrip Administrator, Monica Driver, to participate.

In 2008, the State of Georgia passed House Bill 1133 which allows interested tax payers to receive a tax credit for donations made to approved Student Scholarship Organizations (SSO).  In essence, this legislation allows you to redirect a portion of your Georgia income taxes (up to $2,500 married filing jointly, $1,250 single) to the eligible private school of your choice through the SSO.   In compliance with this legislation, these scholarships are available for new Konos students seeking private school enrollment. The program is targeted towards low to moderate income families who are looking for an alternative to public education.

Matching Gifts

Many companies offer matching gifts programs to match donations made by their employees to non-profit organizations such as Konos Academy.

Stock Gifts

Konos Academy recognizes that sometimes it is easier to transfer shares of stock or land than it is to make a cash gift. Konos welcomes stock gifts. Please contact John Lee if you would like to transfer stock or land to Konos Academy.

Planned Giving

A planned gift is a gift that provides Konos Academy with long term strength and stability. A planned gift will be used to build the Endowment Fund and will remain in perpetuity. Gifts to the Endowment Fund contribute to a growing core of principal that remains untouched while also generating interest capital that helps Konos pay for annual ongoing expenses.

The development of an Endowment Fund is essential to the health of Konos Academy. Through will commitments, life-income gifts, trusts, life insurance, and retirement plans, you help ensure the future of Konos for many years to come.

Planned gifts are an enthusiastic expression of devotion to the Konos commitment to serve homeschooling families, with an excellent biblical worldview education, for decades to come. Please contact John Lee if you would like to make a planned gift.
