Raise Right Scrip Program
Immanuel Lutheran School operates a scrip card program that brings rebate money back to the school. The details for the program can be found in the attached About ILS RaiseRight Scrip program document, which you should read before signing up for and purchasing any scrip gift cards.
To purchase RaiseRight gift cards, you should sign up at www.raiseright.com/enroll. Use enrollment code: N36D5J7EQWFT.
Please take special note that in order for you to receive a shared rebate towards your tuition/fee bill, you must first have a Scrip Program Agreement form filled out in the school office before you make an order.
We are working on updating some of the language around group orders and are planning to offer more opportunities to purchase physical cards throughout the year. Stay tuned for additional details.
If you have any questions, please contact Mr. Heinze at brandan.heinze@immanuelmankato.org. Mr. Heinze will be available after church on Sunday, November 23; Saturday, November 29; and Sunday, November 30 to answer questions and take orders for the upcoming Holiday Season.
