Re: Becoming Non Profit?
We operate with a school account and a booster group which is a 501(c)3 organization. For the school account we use open POs with McMaster and AndyMark. Both get stuff to us in a very timely manner. (Generally if we order it in the morning with will be there the next day.) We have some grant money and donations that go into the school account, most notably an AEP grant. The boosters do a lot of fundraising (they also support 20-30 FLL teams and this year an FTC team) and handle most of our bigger purchases, such as registration and travel payments. If we need something quickly from a vendor that is not already on the school list we tend to have the boosters pay for it. Having two distinct pools of money adds some complexity but it also gives us flexibility.
