In order to help families cover the cost of tuition, Sioux Falls Lutheran School offers the opportunity to earn money for tuition through RaiseRight. Simply buy gift cards for your favorite brands at face value through RaiseRight and use them, instead of cash or other cards, to make purchases. A percentage of each gift card you buy goes directly into an account of your choosing—one for your child, grandchild, niece, nephew, church, or our general tuition assistance fund.
Funds designated to a personal account are applied directly toward your child’s tuition, whereas funds donated to our tuition assistance program are distributed among SFLS students annually, based on need. In addition to ordering eGift cards through the RaiseRight app, we also offer the option to order physical gift cards for pick up in our school office (please see the order schedule at the bottom of this page for additional details).
How RaiseRight is helping SFLS families:
Families who participated in the RaiseRight program in 2021 earned a grand total of $22,349 to put toward tuition.
Families who placed frequent orders and/or got other family members and friends involved earned an average of $682 to put toward tuition in 2021 (totals per family ranged from $356 to $968).
How It Works
Signing Up for the App
You will need a specific enrollment code for SFLS in order to register through RaiseRight. Please complete and return a registration form to our school office and contact our RaiseRight coordinators at 605-335-1923 for the code.
Families who order through the RaiseRight app must pay with a bank account, credit card, or check.
Maximum of 16 gift cards per order when shipping physical cards to your home (no minimum required).
Families pay the shipping fee on physical gift cards when sent to your home, which can be as little as $1.00.
Physical gift card orders will be mailed Monday-Friday through RaiseRight.
Physical gift card orders will be delivered using the USPS. You can upgrade to overnight shipping via UPS, which is required for orders of more than $500.
This service is available only for national brands (not local brands like Hy-Vee).
Orders for physical gift cards that are sent to our school office will not be mailed. They need to be picked up in our school office (please see the pick up schedule at the bottom of this page for additional details).
