Fundraising Policy                            Fundraising Form

In an effort to provide a consistent fundraising policy, the Frederick Area School Board shall set the following criteria.

1.      School sponsored student organizations take a precedence deeming them priority 1.

2.      Organizations that donate back to the school will be classified as priority 2.

3.      Organizations that have no school affiliation will be classified as priority 3.  This means that these organizations will be considered only if there is an absence of priority 1 or 2 fundraisers. 

To request a fundraising activity an organization needs to fill out the Fundraising Plan Application and the Fundraiser Request Form to make a reservation for the event.  The administration will make decisions based on the above criteria with the understanding that there is delineation between those that provide service/products and those that are gaming in nature. 

Thirty days prior to the event the organization is required to check back with the school district office to determine the status of the event.  Once the event reservation is solidified at 30 days prior to the event, the organization cannot be disqualified by a higher priority ranking organization.  

At the completion of the event, the organization is required to submit the Fundraiser Completion Report to the district business office, which is provided with the application.

Outside organizations that utilize school communication networks may be exempt from application and reporting measures if their activity has no school connections.  This exemption is at the discretion of the administration. 

All fundraising solicitation at school-sanctioned events will be limited to a table in the lunchroom unless it is participatory in nature such as the hoop shoot.  Out of respect for our patrons that pay to attend activities, solicitation will not be allowed in the bleachers.
