FundScrip – Gift Card Fundraiser

AFS Foundation has partnered with FundScrip! Now you can support the Foundation when you make your everyday purchases such as groceries, gas, entertainment, and even holiday gifts.

FundScrip allows individuals to purchase gift cards while supporting an organization or charity of their choice. When you choose to support AFS Foundation, a percentage of the total cost of the gift card comes back to the Foundation without any additional costs for the gift card buyer. This means that if you were to purchase $100 for Roots for example, $10 will be donated to the Foundation while the gift card is still worth the $100 that was paid for it. This means no additional cost for you – the gift card is received at face value but we also benefit from your purchase. There are countless retail options to choose from.

Gift cards can be ordered online by selecting the “Purchase Online” button below and using our invitation code CKTMPT. This method will ship gift cards directly to your home for a small shipping fee.

If you would like to place a gift card order in person that you can pick up from our office, please call us at

(705) 945.5050 ext. 2670 or visit us at 205 McNabb Street, Sault Ste. Marie.
