What is RaiseRight?
The RaiseRight program (previously known as SCRIP), is fundraising without selling anything. RaiseRight is able to purchase gift cards in bulk and at a discount. The gift cards are sold at face value and used at the retailer, which can be either online or in person. Calhoun Christian splits the discount with you - you receive 50% of the discount and Calhoun Christian receives the other 50%. The amount accrued by each RaiseRight participant will be paid out to the participant twice a year, and can be put towards any family's tuition.
The more you use RaiseRight for everyday items, the more you donate to the school and the more money you return to your pocket. Raise Right can be used for groceries, gasoline, food, entertainment, home improvement, clothing -- almost everything you currently buy.

How Do I Get Started?
Mobile App
Download the app from the Apple or Google Play stores to get started. The app offers features such as browsing and purchasing gift cards, with a digital wallet to hold your eCards. RaiseRight also has additional discount bonuses throughout the year in which you can take part.
RaiseRight also has a new Shop Online and Earn feature that allows you to click through to the online retailer you would like to purchase through; if you make a purchase, a portion of your purchase is included in the RaiseRight discount program (50% to you, 50% to Calhoun Christian School).
Purchase Online
Purchase RaiseRight via any computer or your smartphone. Create a family account at https://www.raiseright.com/shop using our school's enrollment code (please contact the school office for the code at 269-965-5560). Online purchases allow you to utilize the reload, eCards, or “send a gift card” features RaiseRight offers. Physical cards can be picked up in the office when they are in for free, or sent to an address for a small shipping fee. Please take into consideration holidays and days the office will be closed when placing online orders.
Purchase in Person
We have RaiseRight cards on hand in the school office, which can be purchased via cash or check. You are also able to reorder cards for pickup the following week (typically, orders are placed on Tuesday morning and are shipped to us by the following Monday). Want to get a last minute gift card for your student's teacher or a friend? Stop in to see what we have! We stock many of the local businesses who participate in the program.
