How do I split up funds amongst team members?

The Team Donation Worksheet can be used to spit up funds amongst team members from one large single donation or an IFE (independent fundraising event).  We ask that you please use a minimum donation entry of $25.00 per teammate as a guideline for use of this form.  This is requested due to the amount of data entry involved.

The Team Donation Worksheet is available for download in two formats:

Word  (Save and edit on your PC)
PDF    (Print and complete)

Also located under the Fundraising tab > Documents.


How can I get or give a donation receipt?

Credit card donations made online receive automatic email receipts which include our tax ID number.  Every cash or check donation in the amount of $25 or above will receive a receipt in the mail (if they also provide with us a mailing address).  If a donor requests an immediate receipt, participants may fill out a Donor Receipt immediately upon receiving a cash or check donation supporting their fundraising efforts.  Donor receipts are found under the Fundraising tab > Documents.
