The Northwest Ohio Scrip Association (NOSA) is a
not for profit organization set up to serve schools, churches and other
non-profit organizations and major US and local retailers through innovative
scrip fundraising programs.
The West Toledo Parochial School Parents Association (WTPSPA)
sister program is a not for profit organization set up to serve thousands of
families in the Toledo Area. The WTPSPA assists them in fundraising to help
alleviate the financial burden of a parochial and private education.
Scrip 2000 the most trusted and used scrip tracking software for over 10 years. Scrip2000 manages your scrip program tracking expenses, tracking orders by family, student, vendor, supplier, or scrip, generates family orders and purchase orders, produces several reports and sorting lists (as well as countless other helpful management tools). iScrip released in 2008 has replaced Scrip2000.
iScrip released in 2007 is the latest and newest technologically advanced software available for scrip program administrators. This program offers convenience and flexibility, while providing Scrip 2000 users the familiarity they are used to without the need to learn a new program.
WTPSPA began in 1998 when Andrew Ranazzi recruited 17 other families to participate in a scrip fundraising program to assist them in funding their children’s parochial school education.
Since 1998, the WTPSPA has assisted thousands of families and schools in fundraising more than $1,000,000 and helped retailers with tens of millions in sales.
The WTPSPA continues to grow in leaps and bounds. Diane Fockler a participant and volunteer in the WTPSPA joined Andy in late 2001. Together they recruited many local merchants to participate in the NOSA program. Since then several branches or off shoots of the WTPSPA have been set up around the Toledo area to offer local scrip convenience for the families.
NOSA began in 2002 and only by accident. Our largest supplier had backordered several very popular scrip Christmas gift cards which disappointed many families. Also many non-profits contacted us about providing them with the local merchant’s scrip.
NOSA currently serves more than 400 local and national schools, churches and other non profits.
NOSA offers merchants direct access to hundreds of thousands of motivated, loyal scrip using families, churches, schools and other not for profits who also solicit other families, friends, and coworkers to use and patronize these merchants. Sales to these merchants again runs into the 10’s of millions.
NOSA has partnered with over 490 national and local merchants providing it with competitive pricing for the numerous scrip choices that they offer. Adding more merchants each and every year and extremely competitive discount percentages.
