What is The Manna Program? 
The Manna Program was established in 1989 to provide a fundraising opportunity to non-profit organizations at no extra cost to participating families.  Manna serves our PTA and many other organizations by purchasing large volume of “scrip” (gift cards/certificates) from participating vendors at the highest available discount.  Their scrip is then offered to our PTA at a discount.  Participating families purchase the scrip at full face value and our PTA immediately makes a profit.  The discounts range from two to thirty percent depending on the volume discount offered from each vendor.  The scrip offered is the exact same gift cards/certificates that you would purchase directly from the participating vendors. 

How does Manna help our school?
 By purchasing the scrip at a discounted price and selling the gift cards/certificates at face value, everyone wins.  Participating families receive an even trade for their money and our school makes a profit.  For example, if you regularly shop at Jewel, you can purchase a $25 gift certificate at face value and Whiteley PTA will make a 4% profit on that sale because we were able to purchase the certificates at a 4% discount through Manna.  It’s as simple as that.   

How do I participate in Manna?
You will receive an order form early in the school year.  You can simply order gift cards/certificates for your usual favorite places and your school will benefit.  Manna orders are great for gift giving as well.  The gift cards/certificates are exactly the same as the ones you would purchase directly from the vendors.  It’s a simple way to help raise money for your school.  Start your holiday shopping early this year!
