Electronic Scrip Incorporated (ESI) is a California-based corporation dedicated to establishing relationships between commerce and community – to provide resources to organizations and projects that support children. ESI introduced the eScrip program in 1999 and has distributed over $120 million to schools and youth organizations across the country.

How does the eScrip program work?

• Supporters register any or all of their existing grocery loyalty, debit and credit cards for use in the program.
• Participating national, regional and local merchants will make contributions to enrolled organizations, based on purchases made by supporters, who use their registered grocery loyalty, debit and credit cards. The eScrip program will continually contract new merchants.
• By using these registered cards at participating merchants, supporters generate donations based on a percentage of purchases as determined by each merchant or service provider
• Every month the enrolled organizations receive all merchant contributions made on behalf of all participants. A summarized report listing supporters, merchants, and contributions amounts are available online

When purchasing groceries this month please consider shopping at Dominick's. When you shop at Dominick's between August 12th and September 15th a percentage of your purchase will be donated to the Decatur Classical School PTA. There are over 2000 items to choose from. Just look for the yellow tag! Here's all you need to do:

1. Save your receipt (directions are on the bottom of it). You can either log your receipt online or turn it into the Decatur Classical PTA via backpack mail and we will do the rest!
2. If you are already registered with eScrip, your 10% contribution will be automatically donated to your school.
