Booster Club Fundraising & Private-Benefit Check

Crediting money a family raised against that family’s own fees — an individual fundraising account — is extremely common and is one of the few nonprofit practices with a documented record of costing organizations their tax-exempt status. This workbook asks one question of every allocation: is this credited to a specific family? It reports the answer as a share of your total, tracks whether each fundraiser was genuinely voluntary, and applies the two-counter cash control. It does not tell you where your line is — it gives you the number to take to someone who can.

  • Share of allocations credited to individual families
  • Voluntary versus required participation per fundraiser
  • Two-counter cash control on every event

NOT tax or legal advice. Crediting funds a family raised against that family’s own costs is a private-benefit issue that has cost clubs their exempt status — this workbook gives you the number, not the verdict. Take it to a CPA who works with booster clubs.
