What is RaiseRIght?

RaiseRight is an easy way to save money on your tuition and help our school at the same time! RaiseRight is a painless way our school can generate additional revenue without conducting a traditional fundraiser. RaiseRight is simply gift certificates from national and local retailers. They’re the same gift certificates that you buy at the store. Many popular retailers participate in our RaiseRight program including Cub Foods, Rainbow, Target, Wal-Mart/Sam’s Club, Holiday Station Stores, Amazon.com, JC Penney, Best Buy, Papa John’s Pizza, Red Lobster, Kohl’s, AMC Theatres and many, many others.

The Great Lakes RaiseRight Center acts on behalf of non-profit organizations like our school to purchase large amounts of RaiseRight from grocery stores, department stores, and other retailers. Because the RaiseRight is purchased with cash up front, the participating retailers offer a substantial discount. Our school buys the RaiseRight from Great Lakes RaiseRight Center at a discount, and re-sells the certificates to families like yours for full face value. The discount - from two to fifteen percent or more – is our revenue. The revenue is split between your family’s tuition account and the general school fund. And with RaiseRight, everybody wins:

• You accrue credit to reduce your family’s tuition...
• The retailer gets cash up front and repeat business...
• You get a powerful fundraising alternative that involves no selling
• Our school gets a regular source of revenue.

The beauty of RaiseRight is that you put your regular household shopping dollars to work. You earn money for our school while spending money you would spend anyway. Just spend your regular shopping dollars with RaiseRight at the stores that participate in the RaiseRight program! And RaiseRight can be used for just about any household purchase including food, clothing, entertainment, gasoline, gifts, and even dining out.
