MANDATORY FUNDRAISING POLICY
There is a mandatory fundraising
policy that applies to each family. The minimum $300.00 fundraising
policy has the following two parts:
Of the $300.00 mandatory
fundraising amount, a minimum of $50.00 must go toward the Silent
Auction event. Each family must donate an auction item (goods or
services) that has a value of at least $50.00. The value of an unmarked
item will be determined by the auction chairperson. Price tags and
receipts are required and should be turned in with the item to help
determine the item’s value. If a family donates an item that is over the
$50.00 minimum, the additional amount will count toward the rest of the
$300.00 mandatory minimum.
Parents will be billed $100.00
immediately after the auction donation deadline if no money or item has
been received. Only $50.00 of the $100.00 amount will be applied to the
$300.00 mandatory minimum.
If arrears are not paid within 10
days from the billing date, a $25.00 late fee will be assessed to the
tuition account.
In addition, the following items
will count toward the remaining $250.00 mandatory minimum for
fundraising participation:
Auction (raffle tickets, purchased items) – 100% Matching Funds
Jog-a-thon – 100% Special services by approval
Gift Wrap Sale – 50% of the principal
Fundraising runs from September 1
- May 15. There are no roll-overs from year to year on fundraising
totals. Donated services to a fundraiser that would otherwise be an
expense to the fundraiser may count toward a portion of a families
fundraising totals (i.e., DJ services). The PTG Fundraising $
Coordinator, along with the bookkeeper will make every effort to update
families on their totals, however parents are ultimately responsible for
keeping a record of their own participation hours and fundraising
contributions.
The funds collected towards a
Fundraiser event shall be turned into the School Office or PTG Event
Chairperson within 14 days of the established due date. Delinquent
accounts will be turned over to the School Office. The Office will
invoice families with the outstanding balance. If the arrears are not
paid within 30 days from the billing date, a $25.00 late fee will be
assessed to outstanding balance. No prizes will be awarded to families
whose accounts have not been settled within 30 days of the fundraiser.
The $300.00 fundraising quota is due by May 15.
All expenses incurred for an event
whether by the chairperson or a committee member must be turned into the
PTG Treasurer for reimbursement no later than 3 weeks following the
event. Any receipts turned in after that time will not be reimbursed.
