Good to know
- People are asked for their name and email, but don't have to give them. Those who do get a thank-you email from your group, and can ask to hear about your next fundraiser. Change what they're asked in Finishing touches.
- Donations to most P&Cs and clubs aren't tax deductible: only to a group with deductible gift recipient (DGR) status, such as some school building or library funds. Check yours before you tell anyone they can claim it.
- Taking gold coin entry at a fete? Add Donations to your stall event under Selling something else too?. It gets its own sign. See Run a fun day with stalls.
