Please complete Fund Raising Application Form (see attachment #5) prior to beginning any fundraising activities

Principal will determine how many fundraising events you will have.
Each club is allowed two tax free days during the course of one year. You can sell items without charging sales taxes.
Upon completion of fund raising activity, you must complete the Financial Recap at the bottom of the fundraising application form.
Our internal auditor will review the proper completion of this form during the upcoming year and will rely on it to reconcile gross sales and expenses to monies deposited and fundraising bills paid.
There should be a purpose for the fundraiser (ex. What will monies be used for?), a fundraiser should not be done just because it’s always been done.

9. Fundraising – cont.
The students who are involved in the fundraiser should benefit from the funds raised. There should not be excessive balances remaining at the end of the year unless the monies raised are part of a long-term fundraising project.
NEW – If selling tickets for a fundraiser, you MUST use the District Print Shop. Saves on money.
NEW – Also, when selling tickets or Discount cards, MUST keep track of inventory.
Ex. DO NOT DISCARD any unused tickets or cards!! And keep a listing of all tickets in sequential order, i.e , not sold.

Receipt books issued to you

At the end of each month, the secretary/bookkeeper will give you a spreadsheet of your club’s activity, please reconcile your balance with that of the bookkeeper/secretary. Very Important that you do this!
Make sure you both agree.
This will prevent any misunderstandings at a later date.
