FUNDRAISING POLICY
Each family is required to raise a minimum of $200 each year. The team provides several
fundraising events throughout the year to help meet this
requirement. Be sure
to check how much of each event applies to the $200
requirement.
Some examples are below:
1.
Selling products such as food, body care, or other
products
:
A percentage of the
product sales apply toward the $200.
2.
Have a business sponsor the team
:
The business can then be recognized on the web site. The highest donating business is
listed on the top of the sponsorship list. All business donations are tax
deductible, as we are a non-profit organization. 80% of all sponsorships are
applied toward the family requirement.
3.
Swim-a-thon
: The team hosts an
annual Swim-a-Thon, which is a special fundraiser associated with
USA Swimming. Swimmers
of all levels can participate by receiving pledges for each lap
they swim in two hours. Donors can also make flat
donations. All
donations are tax deductible. The first $50 raised at the
Swim-a-Thon goes into the team’s general fund and helps cover
administrative and other support costs. Any amount above the $50 goes
directly toward the $200 requirement at a dollar-for-dollar
rate. The top two
fundraising families will each receive a $50 credit to be applied
to swim dues.
This credit may not be taken as cash.
There will also be incentives and rewards for the top CROC
fundraiser of the year. The top CROC fundraiser will receive a $100
credit and the second top CROC fundraiser will receive a $50 credit
to be applied to swim dues. These incentives and awards may
not be taken as cash.
