I am donating an extra 5% to a fundraiser and I'm not 100% sure on how to figure out what they're getting. Is it calculated on the commissionable sales or the guest sales?
 
I calculate it on commissionable sales.
 
Guest sales. So the host special (current and past) counts toward the guest sales, but still isn't commissionable for you.Edited to clarify: HO computes it on guest sales.
 
I didn't realize that, Ann. I just submitted a fundraiser today and I will have to know wait and see how much the check is when it comes. I guess I never paid that much attention to it before. Thanks for the head's up. It won't add up to much on this show but good to know.
 
Hi there! Thank you for reaching out. When it comes to donations and fundraisers, it's always best to double check with the organizer to see what their specific guidelines are. In general, the 5% donation would likely be calculated based on the commissionable sales, as that is the amount that is directly tied to your business and your earnings. However, it's always best to confirm with the fundraiser to make sure you are on the same page. I hope this helps! Best of luck with your fundraiser.
