    • What is RaiseRight and How to Get Started

      RaiseRight is an on-going program we have in our parish and school to help families reduce tuition costs and financially support our parish and school without any extra money coming out of your pocket. All the money earned through this program comes directly from the retailers that so generously give us a discount on their gift cards. RaiseRight is a term that means “substitute money”, (i.e. gift cards). When you purchase from RaiseRight, you’re purchasing gift cards that are used just like cash. The gift cards are issued by national and local retailers that you likely are visiting on a regular basis. You can use RaiseRight cards to purchase everyday expenses like food, gasoline, clothing, and other essentials, and with every purchase, you earn “RaiseRight revenue”.

      HOW IT WORKS: SFX buys RaiseRight (gift cards) at a reduced cost and then sells the gift card to you at full face value. The difference in cost (from two to twenty percent) goes into whichever parish or school fund you designate. You can even simply take your rebate as cash back to you. Twice a year, in August and in February, a payout is made, and any money earned through RaiseRight is credited to the school/parish program of your choice.

      Parish/School Programs you can apply your RaiseRight revenue towards:

      • Tuition for your child/children
      • Tuition Angel Fund
      • St. Francis PTO
      • St. Francis School General Fund – general operations of school
      • St. Francis Parish General Fund
      • St. Francis Parish Building Fund
      • Brother Dan’s Food Pantry


      Note: 25% of your RaiseRight revenue will automatically be deducted for the following:

      • Tuition Angel Fund (5%)
      • Scrip Administration (20%)


      POTENTIAL EARNINGS: It all depends on how much RaiseRight you purchase and which retailers you purchase. There is no cap on how much you can earn. As an example, if you spend $200 on gas each month and $500 per month on groceries, and you used RaiseRight from Marathon (3%) and Meijer (4%), your annual savings on these purchases alone would be $312. Because you can use RaiseRight cards on many other types of purchases (clothing, dining, home improvement, etc.), the savings quickly add up. 

      TO GET STARTED: Simply fill out an Enrollment Form and return it to the school or Parish.

      RAISE RIGHT ON-HAND: A selection of the most often used gift cards are kept in inventory and can be purchased for immediate use anytime during the school day at the school office. For cards not kept in inventory, or for larger amounts of gift cards, you will need to place an order.
