You said yes. Now there’s a cash box, a checkbook, a tub of receipts, and a home opener in three weeks.
Most booster club treasurers get the job with no training at all, often from a parent whose child just graduated. This course walks you through your first year in six practical sessions, with plain-English explanations built around an athletic and band boosters club you’ll get to know along the way.
- How to take over from the last treasurer before graduation scatters everyone
- Whether your club is its own 501(c)(3) or part of the school, and why it must be one or the other
- Running the concession stand: starting banks, two-person counts, tally sheets, and prompt deposits
- Why fundraising credits for individual students cause tax trouble, and what to do instead
- Raffles and 50/50s, sponsor banners, trip refunds, and gifts to the school
- Monthly reports, the annual budget, the right IRS return, and simple controls that protect the club and your good name
Each session ends with discussion questions to work through with your outgoing treasurer, club president, or executive board. A companion workbook with practice exercises and reproducible forms is available separately.
The treasurer books are general education for volunteers. They are not individual tax, legal or accounting advice; for your organization's specific situation, consult a qualified professional.
