Help Support the Chinese American Museum
with the Scrip Program

Do your regular shopping and support CAM at the same time! We have more than 200 merchants to choose from. Purchase gift cards and debit cards, the merchants will donate 2%~25% what you spend to CAM.

Since we all need to purchase groceries, gas, rent a video, go to a restaurant, you may find at least one merchant on the list that you regularly spend money on.

The wonderful thing about SCRIP is that CAM supporters are able to support CAM without spending any extra money - they're simply converting their cash for their daily shopping and gift-giving needs.

There are three ways to do this:

  1. Traditional Scrip
    Purchase gift certificates and gift cards from over 200 Local and National Merchants. Supporters purchase these certificates/cards from your organization at face value, CAM purchases them at a discount. CAM keeps the difference as fundraising monies.

    Note: Some Merchant discounts are as high as 25%!

  2. Superscrip
    Like a prepaid "debit" card, and available in $25 /$50 / $100 denominations - our SuperScrip cards can be used at over 200 National Merchants. Supporters purchase SuperScrip cards from CAM at face value, CAM purchases SuperScrip cards from National Scrip Center at a 5% discount, and keeps the 5% as fundraising monies.

    Note: SuperScrip cards make great gifts!

    Benefits to CAM: New, incremental fundraising opportunities allowing you to tap into new dollars from birthdays, anniversary's, weddings, graduations, business opportunities, etc. One gift card to manage instead of 200 individual cards and certificates Best single gift card in the market Incremental money on top of existing gift certificates and gift card sales

    Code 990, is SuperScrip.

  3. Cardscrip Mastercard
    Apply CAM Credit Card for an MBNA MasterCard. When approved, 1% of every purchase made with that credit card goes to CAM. This MasterCard has no annual fee.

    Note: 25+ Bonus merchants associated with this credit card give a higher percentage of the purchase back to CAM - up to 11%!

    To apply by phone, call toll free: 1-800-929-1550,
    CAM Priority Code: FU84.
