Where does the money go?
Jun 9, 2010 Donations, Fundraising, Updates
The short answer… ALL OF IT goes to Karl
I just want to be crystal clear about where our donations and fund-raising dollars go. Like I mentioned above, all of the money this project generates goes directly towards funding Karl’s home care.
The 24-hr home care that Karl needs is very costly… $5,000 per month. Our health care system only provides a fraction of that (only 4 hrs a day). That’s a huge burden on Karl’s parents, especially when you consider they are retired pensioners.
The FullWattage Benefit funds
Thanks to Cherelle Jardine’s effort and connections, the fine folks at the The Yale have graciously donated their facility and equipment at no cost to us. That means every penny from every ticket goes directly to Karl.
Future fund-raising events will be handled the same way.
No one gets paid
Everyone that is working on this project is a volunteer. No one gets paid. No one. The FullWattage Benefit at The Yale is totally pro bono. None of the bands are getting paid. The Yale will only make money on the sales of food and drinks.
All the effort and money that went into setting up and hosting the websites, organizing the events, and creating the marketing is all pro bono. That also includes any future marketing efforts.
PayPal and Bank Accounts
Currently we have a PayPal account set up in trust for Karl. It will be controlled by Misty, Karl’s mom. Eventually we will have a Trust Fund set up through Misty’s bank and then donating will be a little easier and more direct (for those that prefer that method over PayPal).
Hope that clears up some questions about money.
Please let us know if you need more info.
