Finance
Once the gross receipts from the donation barrels have been counted, a statement will be prepared detailing the 50% share due to all Donation Partners once operational costs (e.g., stickers, buckets, promotional materials, etc.) have been deducted from the net amount. Each individual organization's share of the 50% of net revenue will be determined on the basis of the number of volunteer hours supplied. Donations supervisors will earn additional hour credits for their work but most also attend additional training.
The statement and check will be presented to your nominated representative at the Community Partners Check Granting Party to be held no later than August 31, 2007. For organizations that do not send a representative to the party, checks will be delivered by U.S. post to the most current address on file no later than September 15, 2007.
