Who does the money go to? Doe sit NEED to go to the school or can it go to a booster club? The booster club can accept the cash / check and charges. For the school where I volunteer, the musical &
theatre budget came from the booster clubs (musical was combined from the Chorus/
Orchestra/Band/
Theatre Boosters & plays from the
Theatre boosters). The respective board members used Square for charges to go directly to the
theatre booster club's account for plays/musicals and wrote checks over to the other booster clubs when necessary. Also, the booster's used Square to collect donations from concessions, any general donations, and club dues from the students. The dues covered T Shirts, cost of music, associated trips,
etc ... The dues were not required for class, just for the club and extracurricular (Arts are poorly funded here)
We found that when we started accepting CCs we received more in donations and had a higher
advance ticket sell volume. Local rules and actual mileage my vary.
