OK, i have been kicking around the idea of doing offering a fundraiser to my church. i have been over the moon about it. even want to give my commission from it. well, i was talking to one of the ladies who use to run our MOPS program and she mentioned how when the first (and only) time she ever tried to fund raise for MOPS our financial guy has a hissy fit because the representative for the company was going to make commission off the fundraiser (like 5%). now, i was planning on donating my commission back because that is from my heart. but i was put off by the reported temper tantrum. so it has me wondering, is that common for churches to be really strict about that? it has disturbed me that i would be expected to donate my commission. i mean, it kinda makes me feel like my donating my commission isn't a great of a thing as i thought and that it won't be appreciated. i mean, i didn't plan on announcing it to the church, but i guess it just makes me feel like donating my commission would be meaningless. is this common with church fundraisers?
