What is RaiseRight?
RaiseRight (previously known as Together We're Better or scrip) sells gift cards—both online and traditional plastic gift cards—that you can use at various retailers and restaurants rather than using a credit card or cash. Our gift cards are the same as you would find in any store.

How it works:
RaiseRight is an ongoing fundraiser for St. Joseph's PTF. We carry a wide assortment of gift cards in stock, or you can set up an online account and purchased your RaiseRight gift cards from your home computer or mobile device. Each merchant sets their own discount to sell their cards. RaiseRight buys the cards at the discounted rate and sells the gift cards to you at face value. This difference is how RaiseRight raises its funds.

What happens to the proceeds?
The proceeds—the difference between the face value and the discounted purchase price—is how RaiseRight makes its profit. For any online RaiseRight gift card purchase, you get to designate where 80% of the proceeds go (see categories below). The other 20% of the proceeds go to PTF. For any traditional (plastic) cards purchased, proceeds are split 50/50 between your designated option and PTF.

You can designate your TWB proceeds to go toward the following categories:
Family Tuition - You can designate your portion of the proceeds to go toward your family's tuition bill. Or, you can choose for your proceeds to go toward another family's tuition.
Tuition Assistance Fund - A fund that helps families in need for tuition. If you would like to know more about this fund, please see the principal.
Building Fund - Proceeds will go toward paying off the balance of the Parish Center loan.
Library - Proceeds will go toward our school library.

Where can I buy the traditional (plastic) gift cards?
During the school week, you can purchase the cards from the School Office. On weekends, the cards are sold after select Sunday masses at St. Joseph and St. Agatha by a volunteer. During the summer, the cards are sold in the Parish Office.

Can I begin to accrue money toward family tuition before my child (or relative) enrolls?
Yes! Please contact the school office if you are interested in learning more. Note: Money accrued toward a child's tuition will go toward the school's general Tuition Assistance Fund if the child does not enroll.
