Polar Plunge Accounting

Posted by Amy Luckiewicz on Feb 17, 2017
 

With the Polar Plunge a few weeks behind us, we are asking all clubs to wrap up their donations by April 1, 2017.

Please note the following:
  • All donations made ONLINE via Mobile Cause will be accounted for by the District including assigning proper Paul Harris points.
  • All check and cash donations should be processed via your club's Foundation Chair (see details below).
  • Do NOT send money to the district for the Polar Plunge.
  • Checks for polio donations should be made payable to The Rotary Foundation, not your club's name.
 
 
How do I process a check?
  • Make a copy for your records
  • Complete the Offline Donation Form for an offline donation.
  • Give the check to your club's Foundation Chair and have them send it in with the Rotary Contribution Donation Form.
  • Make sure it is marked for POLIO PLUS FUND and have them send it to the Foundation as soon as possible.
  • Do not hold onto checks. Please process once the Offline Donation Form has been completed.
  • ALWAYS KEEP COPIES OF DONATION CHECKS!
How do I process cash?
  • Keep records of cash gifts. We discourage this form of donation.
  • Complete the Offline Donation Form for an offline donation.
  • Convert the cash to a check made payable to The Rotary Foundation.
  • Give the check to your club's Foundation Chair and have them send it in with the Rotary Contribution Donation Form.
  • Make sure it is marked for POLIO PLUS FUND and have them send it to the Foundation as soon as possible.
  • DO NOT hold onto checks. Please process once the Offline Donation Form has been completed.
