Dinnerticketsaresoldbyallpersonnelandboardmembers.UnsoldticketsarereturnedtotheResource Development Manager (RDM). The RDM provides the office manager with a schedule of tickets sold reconciled to funds received on a weekly basis starting two months before the dinner, with increasing frequency within the last two weeks of the event. Items donated for the silent auction are inventoried by the RDM, with every donor receiving a thank you letter listing the item(s) donated. Payment for auction itemswonmustbemadeattimeoftheauction.TheRDMandoneoftheprogrammanagersacceptthe cheques or complete credit card charge slips for the amounts of the winning bids and then attach them to the bid slip. Some items are paid for with cash, and there are a few cash donations. Inboth circumstances, the payer receives a receipt for payment. A duplicate receipt is attached to the bid slip, and general donation receipts are put in a separate envelope. The day after the dinner, the office manager copies the checks and prepares deposits. The office manager likes to have a separate deposit for auction money and general donation money. Either that day or the next, the office manager processes the credit card charges. Grant funds are received annually or quarterly, depending on the grant. Grant correspondence and copies of checks are provided to the RDM. Contribution revenue is recorded when the organization is notified that the grant is approved, which may be when the grant funds are received or the first quarter funds are received. Deposits are written up by the office manager and taken to the bank by whoever is available to do so. Bank statements are opened by the executive director. The bank does not return cheques or provide copies of cheques. However, the executive director does have online access to the bank account and checks the bank balance at least twice a week. If she does not recognize the amount of a cheque that has cleared, she views the cheque online. The bank reconciliation is performed by the office manager on a timely basis. Costs are allocated on a functional basis as follows: Programservicesincludepayrollandrelatedcostsforprogrammanagersand90percentofpayrolland related costs for the executive director; 70 percent of the facility lease and property insurance; program supplies; liability insurance; and other directcosts.
