Kennedy Card Program(KCP) Scrip Fundraising
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the Kennedy Card Program?
KCP is a fundraising program where theJFK PTO purchases gift cards forover 250 of America’s most popular retailers, including grocery and department stores, gas stations, restaurants, hotels, home improvement stores, even online shopping. Scrip gift cards are the same gift cards you can purchase from the retailer, & can be used for everyday purchases or for gifts. Families order & pay face value for their gift card, & the KCP Coordinator orders the Scrip cards at a discount. Every retailer gives a different % discount of the gift card value to the PTO. That difference is an instant rebate for the JFK PTO. The PTO earns money with each gift card purchase.
