Question 1

Grocery Bagging

Accepted Answer

Our club has the opportunity to occasionally work grocery bagging events at the respective grocery stores. (Yellowknife Coop and Rochdi's Independent Grocer)

We have an event coordinator that reaches out to all athletes and parents/guardians looking for volunteers. The fundraising opportunity is done so on an equitable basis. 
 
Volunteers are expected to offer to bag random customer's groceries for them. Donation bins  are placed at each till for people to donate whatever amount they would like to.

Funds are split up by the following: 
 • Total profits for that day are added up and divided by the total man-hours worked
 • The event organizer gets 2% of the total of each event planned, applied to their child’s fundraising account or the specified child’s fundraising account. 
 • The club keeps 3% of the total, to be used to help offset operational costs. 
 • The balance is then divided by the total number of hours worked by each volunteer. That amount is then multiplied by the number of hours each person worked. The total for each person is applied to the credit of each player represented at that fundraiser.

Question 2

Bingos

Accepted Answer

Our club has the opportunity to occasionally work bingos at the Tree of Peace Friendship Centre and/or the Elks.

We have an event coordinator that reaches out to all athletes and parents/guardians looking for volunteers. The fundraising opportunity is done so on an equitable basis.

Funds are split up by the following:

• The event coordinator gets $20.00 for each event they secure for the club 
 • The number of workers will be determined by the vendor (Elk’s and/or Tree of Peace).
 • The Club will retain $50.00 from each event 
The remaining funds will be divided evenly amongst those that worked 
IE: We are paid $250.00 for a bingo that 2 volunteers work. $20.00 goes to the event coordinator, $50.00 goes to the club, the remaining $180.00 will be split amongst the 2 workers, equally $90.00 each.
