How can you help the council budget? Project Sales!

Project sales are an integral part of our annual Friends of Scouting Campaign. Project sales help…

• Identify special sources of income
• Interest new contributors in specific line items of the budget
• Upgrade existing contributions to new levels of giving

Listed below are three different types of project sales.

1. Gifts in kind: Rather than a cash gift, specific budget items can be provided such as office supplies (paper, computer supplies, envelopes, etc.) food items for camp (chicken, frozen foods, etc.) and other materials for camp (lumber, paint etc.). Items contributed are given fair market value and charged to the proper budget account. Note: The item must be a budgeted expense for the current budget year.

2. Donated Services: Rather than cash gift, a needed service is provided, such as printing, vehicle maintenance, etc. Note: The item must be a budgeted expense for the current budget year.

3. Cash Gifts: Cash that is given to support a specific line item in the current year’s budget. A donor may choose a budget item of particular interest to designate the funds such as recognition awards, school night materials, program helps, Eagle Scout award kits, etc.

Contact the Council Service Center at 814.371.5650 after reviewing the list. Items are being donated as we speak. Confirm that the item has not already been donated. The list is not all inclusive. It is only a partial list. Call if you have something that you would like to donate and we can let you know whether we could use it.
