Title: Fundraising Events
Policy Statement:
Fundraising cannot take place until applications are approved after Sept 15th each season. All requests to hold any fundraising events must be submitted to, and approved by the Fundraising Chair or their designate prior to an event. A fundraising committee has been established to review and make recommendations regarding all fundraising activities within KMHA. The Committee will not approve activities commencing prior to application approvals. Applications are to be made on the prescribed forms.
The selling of goods is considered to be fundraising activities and accordingly must be approved by the committee. Member teams may participate in product sales, bingos, paper or bottle drives, Zehr’s tape collection. Bowl-a-thons or skate-a-thons are not permissible. Lotteries, raffles, and draws may only be conducted under the auspices of the Board of Directors and be equal benefit of all KMHA.
Fundraising activities must follow the current expectations for fundraising as defined by KMHA. A fundraising vote must be unanimous. A fundraising budget must be drafted and attached to the application for fundraising events. Financial reports for the fundraising activities must be filed with the reconciled team budget at the season end. (April 15th)
Proceeds from fundraising events must be used to offset approved budget expenditures. Monies in excess of parent contributions to the budget will be directed to the KMHA Donna Weber Sponsored Children’s Fund.
