The time of the Winter Solstice is a time of giving, with exchanges of presents being indicative of good will. When purchasing gifts or giftcards, be mindful of Cherry Hill Seminary’s SCRIP programme.
The SCRIP fundraising programme has been used extensively by schools, churches and non-profit organizations of all kinds. CHS has two separate SCRIP programmes:
-
Simplified SCRIP to purchase store gift cards from hundreds of merchants all over the country and online
-
Every time you shop using these programmes, CHS will receive a percentage of your purchase at no extra cost to you as it will be coming from the merchants you are shopping from.
The money that CHS actually gets from each transaction is quite small, but if enough people use the programmes, it will all add up. Both programmes are accessible through the above links.
It is also possible to donate straight to CHS.

While the revenue earned by high traffic websites may well be quite considerable, the revenue for the average pagan website is comparatively modest.
On 6 April 2009, I received an email from Amazon announcing a “change” to the Amazon Associates Program starting on 1 May 2009. They stated that “After careful review of how we are investing our advertising resources, we have made the decision to no longer pay referral fees to Associates who send users to … Amazon websites in the US or Canada.”
They then added “We appreciate your continued support and participation in this advertising Program.”
This means that all of us who have websites in North America (more…)
