Welcome to Fundit 2007-2008!

Going to Disney? Purchase Disney certificates from Fundit to pay for your trip and St. Bernadette School gets 2%!

What is Fundit? 

Fundit is an ongoing program that raises money to benefit St. Bernadette School, which has the potential to raise $40,000 or more.

How does Fundit work to benefit our school?

You purchase gift certificates to grocery stores, restaurants, department stores, specialty stores, etc. at face value.  The merchant then gives our school a percentage of the purchase price.   For example, if you buy a $50 Stop & Shop card, you get $50 worth of groceries – and Stop & Shop gives $2.50 to St. Bernadette School.  Buy a $25 Uno’s gift card to go out to dinner, and Uno’s gives us $4.25!

These small amounts add up very quickly to give our school money for items we really need.  Last year,  St. Bernadette School was given over $13,000,  all through Fundit gift card purchases.   We can receive much more if more families participate.

How does Fundit benefit you?

You are supporting our school at no cost to you.  You purchase what works for your family.  You don’t have to buy wrapping paper or frozen cookie dough that you don’t really want.  Gift certificates are easy to use at the store.  And of course, they make great gifts!  You can have a few on hand for birthday party gifts so you don’t have to run out at the last minute.  You can plan ahead for holiday shopping, using certificates both to purchase gifts and to give as gifts.

How do you use Fundit?

It’s easy!  Every week your Fundit envelope will come home in your Family Envelope.  Fill out the order form and send it back in the envelope with payment on Monday.  On Friday, we’ll send home your gift cards in the envelope along with a new order form.  Order forms are also available at the school’s front office, in the Early Childhood Center lobby, and at the Fundit Office in the Pastoral Center.

To keep costs down, we ask that you reuse the manila Fundit envelope you were sent at the beginning of the year.  If you do not have it available, send your order in any envelope marked “Fundit”.  You only need to send your Fundit envelope back to us if you are placing an order, or if you need a new order form.  Otherwise, please hold it at home until you are ready to order.

You can also shop from our inventory on a walk-in basis.  Come to the Fundit Office in the Pastoral Center on Wednesday mornings from 8:30 am to 10:00 am.
