NOTE! • REMEMBER TO ALWAYS KEEP COUNT OF YOUR PROFITS AND EXPENSES, COMMUNICATE WITH THE REST OF YOUR BOARD/YOUR ADVISORS, AND UPDATE THE FUNDRAISER TRACKER ON EACH FUNDRAISER YOU HOLD! • If you are using online payment methods, ALWAYS make sure to coordinate with your regional advisor or a Kiwanis branch. Make sure that an ADULT is handling the online payments! Money should never be going through a student’s personal account. (for safety reasons!)

• IMPORTANT: club money must always be kept separate from personal funds. That means a separate envelope, can, or box. Never put club money in your wallet with your own money, even for a few minutes.

• Make sure that you take the costs into account when deciding on a price for your items! (For example, if you give a $20 gift card as a prize, the participation price should be high enough to cover that and any other expenses your club has to spend for the fundraiser.)
