Fundraising for Associates In Need
Fundraisers
Your Market Center can conduct a fundraiser for an associate in need. Proceeds must be given to the associate directly and donations are not tax deductible, however the amount raised for the associate does count towards the market centers' annual $30,000 goal.
Monetary Gifts to the Associate in Need
In order to provide immediate assistance to an associate in need, a Market Center Center can always collect and give checks made payable to that individual directly . These are considered gifts and are not tax deductible donations. When the Market Center or applicant applies for a grant from KW Cares they need to tell KW Cares what has been done to support that associate financially and in other ways.
When you are working to help an associate in need, the money you raise counts toward your Market Center's charitable giving goal! The Market Center should always be the first line of support for an associate in need in the spirit of "family helping family". Market Centers should track their own progress toward their goal.
