FBLA-ML FUNDRAISING FINANCES It is important early in the year to review your district's policy for activity accounts including deposits and payments. Many events have a payment receipt deadline that could prevent student participation if the deadline is missed. Knowing who to contact in your building or district to make sure things are done is key. Unfortunately, more than one purchase order has become " lost " on a desk or digital file structure between submission and process. Be sure to follow-up once or twice, especially as deadlines draw near. Keep documentation and copies of all correspondence and forms. Work with your officer team to develop a budget as you work on the program of work. As soon as costs of conferences, hotels, ect are known, work to set the per student cost and share with members and parents as early as possible. When planning for budget purposes, it may be a good idea to add 10-20% to costs year over year. Fundraising Opportunities FBLA-PBL is pleased to partner with a number of fundraising organizations.
