NAFC Gift Card DriveYour family's game plan
Sign up your household first
Use your player's personal link (it's in the club email) so your household counts as their first supporter in the Camera Crew Challenge.
Move groceries and gas onto cards
Buy one grocery e-card on payday, or reload a card, then shop as normal. This is where most of the money comes from.
Buy holiday gifts as gift cards
Teachers, coaches, nieces and nephews. Many restaurant and gift cards pay the club 10 to 15% until Dec 31.
Help your player share
Grandparents, aunts and uncles, your boss and coworkers, and neighbours. Your player has messages ready to send on the player page.
Two ways to order
Online, on your own
- Create a free account on FundScrip and enter code [CODE].
- Pick your cards. E-cards arrive by email in minutes (they're under the card-type filter). Physical cards ship to the club in our group order and are handed out at training.
- Pay at checkout. E-cards have a 2.5% processing fee that comes out of the club's share, but checkout lets you add it to your total so the club keeps the full amount. Please tick it if you can.
Club order form: physical cards handed to you
- Pick your cards and amounts on the club order form. No FundScrip account needed. Add your player's name so it counts for the contest.
- Pay the club by Interac e-Transfer to northatleticofc@gmail.com (memo: your name + player). Your order goes in once payment arrives.
- Order and pay by Fri Nov 20 or Fri Dec 11. Cards come back in a sealed envelope with your name on it, handed to an adult at training.
Prefer a printed form? Ask [COORDINATOR].

Deadlines
| Deadline | What |
|---|---|
| Fri Nov 20 | Physical cards, round 1: order online or on the club order form |
| Fri Dec 11 | Physical cards, last round before Christmas (online, club order form, paper or business orders) |
| Thu Dec 31 | Holiday promo rates (up to 15%) end, and the player contest closes |
| Anytime | E-cards keep going after the physical-card rounds close. Delivered by email in minutes, and they count for the contest until Dec 31. |
Physical cards ship to the club in one group order per round and are handed out at training. FundScrip can't guarantee arrival before Dec 25, so round 1 is the safe one.
The player contest, for parents
U15, U17 and U19 players compete in the Camera Crew Challenge until Thursday, December 31: most supporters and most raised, plus a draw where every supporter is a ticket. Prizes are small and teen-friendly. Details are on the player page, and standings are on the board.
Good to know
- A supporter counts once they've placed an order. Your household counts for your player.
- The public board shows first name and last initial only. Tell [COORDINATOR] if you'd rather your child not appear. They still count.
- Players never collect cash. Payment goes to the club by e-Transfer or cheque with the form.
- If your player asks neighbours or businesses, please go with them.
Questions
Does it cost us anything extra?
No. A $100 card costs $100 and is worth $100 in the store. The club's share comes from the retailer.
When does the club get the money?
FundScrip pays the club by cheque on request, twice a year at no charge. The board shows what's been earned so far.
Is it a tax-deductible donation?
No. It's a retailer rebate paid to the club, not a receipted donation.
A card won't scan or got lost?
Contact FundScrip customer service at fundscrip.com/contact-us. Usually it's a cashier issue, a delayed activation, or a used balance.
Who do I talk to at the club?
