Re: Booster Club?
We have the same issues. Here is what we are doing:
1. Form a non-profit organization, which costs $25 in South Carolina
2. Open a checking account with a LOCAL bank (free for non-profits)
3. Use a debit card for local purchases
4. Keep excellent records
We are also considering a credit card for online use.
A 501C is a must for corporate donations, but we use our local school foundation (or FIRST) for this. Also, be very careful to keep the booster organization separate from the robotics team or you may run into problems with your school district. At least that is our experience.
