Show Bookings and FR Donations: Questions & Answers

[heat123]

Hey, I was wondering, when a show gets booked from an FR, does the ORG get the $3 with the ending donation check, or will they recieve it after the show was held? TIA!

With the donation check. I usually at least double it, but my portion goes to the organization when the show is held.

Oh wow, I didn't think so Thanks Becky!

I give an extra 5%, but don't increase the show booking amount.

I plan on giving 5% of my commission when all is said and done, as I don't think 10-15% is sufficient. AT least that bumps it up to 15-20%

I do it to increase bookings.

I offer 5% of the booked show's sales and say that it is the fundraiser that keeps on giving. I'm surprised but I haven't really had too many takers on it. Most of my fundraisers have been catalog ones though, I bet I'd get a lot more takers if it were a fundraiser cooking show.
