Support Calgary Families with FundScrip Gift Card Fundraising
Did you know? Statistics Canada found September 24 had the highest average number of births in Canada.
With birthday season here and Christmas on the horizon, gift cards are an easy option for friends and family members who are difficult to buy for. They can choose something they will actually enjoy, and when you purchase the card through FundScrip, your gift can also support Made by Momma!
FundScrip Gift Card Fundraising is not only for gifts. It is a simple, year-round way to support Calgary families through purchases you were already planning to make. 💗💜
What is Made by Momma?
Made by Momma is a grassroots, 100% volunteer-run registered Canadian charity in Calgary.
For 17 years, we have provided prepared meals, diapers, formula, baby and family essentials, in-home support and other no-cost services to caregivers and families navigating crisis.
Because sometimes the people caring for everyone else need care, too.
What is FundScrip Gift Card Fundraising?
FundScrip is a Canadian fundraising program that has been helping groups raise funds since 2004.
You purchase gift cards at face value from more than 230 participating retailers. You receive the full value of the card, and each purchase automatically includes a donation to Made by Momma. The donation percentage varies by retailer.
You pay $100. You receive $100 in gift card value. Made by Momma receives a donation.
A little extra care, at no extra cost to you!

2. Choose your gift cards
Choose cards for groceries, gas, restaurants, pharmacies, clothing, entertainment and more.
Depending on the retailer, physical gift cards, eGift cards and reloadable cards may be available.
Ordering through FundScrip can also help reduce the risk of purchasing a compromised gift card from a physical store display. Cards are ordered directly through the FundScrip platform, and their values are clearly identified for added peace of mind.
3. Use the full card value
Use the cards for purchases you were already planning to make.
Fill the tank. Pick up the week’s groceries. Buy a birthday or Christmas gift. Enjoy dinner with your family.
You keep the full value of the card, while the included donation supports Made by Momma’s essential programs.
