Merchant Rebates For Schools and Non-Profits

Part of the work of a coordinator is understanding which merchants (stores) participate. With eScrip, retailers (i.e., Eddie Bauer, Macy’s) and restaurants donate back to schools and non-profits. In addition, eScrip offers the Dining Network where many local establishments donate up to 5% of a dining bill. The list of merchants is subject to change and so it’s a good idea to check the Merchant List just prior to a campaign or prior to printing flyers and banners.

For example, Office Max and Pep Boys no longer participate in eScrip as of June 1, 2008. I have noticed however, that Office Max is an eScrip Online Mall merchant, donating 3.6% of online purchases through the eScrip website.

In addition to sharing the eScrip Merchant list with supporters, it’s a good idea to scan your Monthly Earnings Report and identify other restaurants and stores who are contributing. While reviewing a report for one of our clients, we found that a popular bagel establishment is an eScrip merchant. They were not listed on the eScrip Merchant List, but do appear on reports. We’ll definitely highlight this Merchant in flyers and on our website to recognize their support.
