Overview

We are excited to announce that Genesis School of Dance is launching a new fundraising program for the 2023/2024 season, with Fundscrip! It's easy to use, and allows supporters to raise funds for Genesis just by making regular, everyday purchases!

Our most important partner in achieving our fundraising goal is you!

It is with your effort and commitment that we will be able to reach our goal to raise $6,000 to help us produce this year’s Musical, Once Upon a Mattress!

Here's How it Works:
Supporters purchase gift cards to pay for their everyday expenses (e.g. groceries, gas, home & garden, entertainment, restaurants, and much more). Each purchase automatically includes a donation to Genesis!

Benefits:
Buy cards at face value, get face value at the retailers - support Genesis without paying out of pocket! With cards from over 230 leading retailers, there's no need to change your shopping habits!

Process:
1) Make an order of gift cards online before the next order deadline.

*PLEASE NOTE* the BEST way to pay is by making an **Online Bill Payment** - to avoid credit card processing fees that take a large portion of the fundraising proceeds. (Details below)

2) Gift cards are shipped to Genesis
3) Pick up your gift cards and shop as usual!

Impact:
The average family of 4 spends about $1,000 on groceries per month and about $250 per month on gas. If one supporter/family purchased only their groceries and gas using gift cards purchased through Genesis at the average fundraising rate of 3%, they could help Genesis raise $37.50 per month, and up to $450 per year! And that's just one family!

Details for Online Bill Payment:
Pay for orders 3 business days before the first scheduled order date. (First date is Monday October 30.) If you miss the cutoff time of 9.30 a.m. ET, the order will then process on the second order deadline (Nov. 27). If this date is missed, a refund must be issued by cheque which can take up to 2 weeks to process.

NOTE: Using credit card as payment instead of Online Bill Payment method will reduce donations to the group.
