ESI operates various opportunities ("the eScrip Program") for organizations: (1) eScrip store and catalog shopping, (2) eScrip Online Shopping (3) eScrip Visa Credit Card(s) (3) eScrip Recycling Program (4) eScrip Online Auction, all of which together shall be referred to as the eScrip Program. Electronic Scrip Incorporated (ESI) has established the eScrip Program ("Program") to benefit United States organizations that support youth education in the United States. An organization must be enrolled in the Program in order to receive contributions from participating merchants in connection with the Program.
ESI will track all purchases made with registered cards from participating merchants and distribute the accumulated contributions to the designated organization(s). Only those cards designated by the merchant will be tracked for contributions -- see individual merchant details. Merchant Participation in the eScrip Program may be excluded due to restrictions based on group type. To find out group participation criteria for a particular merchant, you may visit www.escrip.com and go to merchant search. Group participation by merchant will be listed under program details of the merchant. ESI reserves the right to discontinue or alter the terms of this program, including the participating merchants, the contribution percentages, and the registered card types that are accepted by merchants, at any time without prior notice.
If you choose to support more than one organization (you may support a maximum of three different qualified organizations), ESI will split your contribution amount equally between your multiple designations and provide reporting of each contribution. After you are enrolled and your registered cards have been processed, a percentage of your qualified purchases, as determined by participating merchants, is contributed to your designated organization(s). ESI provides a number of services to participating groups including, but not limited to: reporting tools, software support and development, marketing support, in-field training, promotional campaign assistance and new merchant referral contact. ESI charges a nominal group administration fee to participating groups which is deducted from your earned contributions.
