How Do You Contribute Your Comm. to Frs?

[heat123]

I liked the idea of giving the org. part of my own commision. So how do you handle doing this say if I want to contribute 10%? I was told it wasn't done thru PP? So do I cut them a personal check once I get my commission check?

Yes, you would send them a personal check. Don't forget you can count this as a charitable deduction when it comes to tax time!

Charitable donationsI did this with a Help Whip Cancer Fundraiser. I sent out a personal check to the Cancer Society and had to put it in as a Show Expense.
Charitable Donations are only deductable if they are a certain percentage of your income. And I mean they need to be really high in dollars. Your total donations for the year must exceed about 30% of your income I think.
I donate roughly $2000 a year and because my income is what it is, that was not enough to deduct as a charitable donation on my income tax. So this year any donations I put out there via Pampered Chef, I wrote in as a Show Expense. Sounds dumb but I refuse to let Uncle Sam get any more than he should.

John you are right. I prep taxes and this is a good way around donation requirement!

Hi there!That's a great idea to give a portion of your commission to an organization. In order to do this, you can simply write a check or make a donation directly to the organization once you receive your commission check. This way, you can ensure that the donation goes directly to the organization and is not processed through Pampered Chef's payment system.Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.Happy cooking!
