FUNDRAISING
Fundraising is a significant aspect of the booster organization's work, essential for providing students with the best possible musical instruction experience. The funds raised support vital activities such as advanced, hands-on clinician sessions within our auditorium, repair of school-owned instruments, and the acquisition of new equipment when necessary.
Types of Fundraising
- General Booster Fund Fundraising: Large annual events like Tag Days and the Golf Fundraiser contribute to the General Booster Fund, supporting clinicians and meeting other director needs.
- Student Account Fundraising*: Smaller fundraisers—including Achatz Pie, Poinsettia, Pizza Kits, Pizza Coupons, Coffee/Popcorn, Fruits, Flower Bulbs, and RaiseRight** - add profits directly to student accounts. These funds may be applied toward music field trips, private lessons, instrument accessories, camp fees, or other music-related expenses.
- Shared Profit Fundraisers*: Some fundraisers, such as the Mattress Sale and the Can and Bottle Drive, split profits between Student Accounts and the General Booster Fund. For the Mattress Sale, students receive a set amount per successful referral, with the remainder supporting the Boosters. During the Can and Bottle Drive, profits are evenly divided, with student shares based on volunteer hours.

*Funds raised through individual fundraising efforts are owned and operated by NFHS Music Boosters with the understanding that the organization has complete control and discretion over the funds, including the right to use such funds for other purposes consistent with its tax-exempt mission. All funds unused after a student graduates will be swept into the general music boosters account in September. If siblings are enrolled in music classes then the funds will remain available in the family account. IFA (Individual Fundraising Account - ie Student Accounts) activity makes up an insubstantial portion of the overall activities of the organization; and participation in fundraising IFA activity is voluntary.
**Funds raised through the RaiseRight rebate platform are owned by the participant, and not the organization. The participant can request a reimbursement for unused funds, or have the remaining amount donated to the general music boosters account in September. If the donation method is selected, then a charitable tax donation receipt will be issued. If multiple SA fundraising sources are present in the SA, then the RaiseRight funds will be used first, and only funds exceeding the general sources will be considered for EOY allotments.
