What is an acceptable overhead cost for a charity?

We are hosting a bake sale for charity. is it wrong for me to take out my "cost" that went over what I planned?

  • I am hosting a bake sale that is going to take place at a charity garage sale. I was only given 2 weeks notice and I had asked some other PTA members to contribute, and got NO response.. I went ahead and bought enough supplies to make it a success. I would have donated $50, but my costs (to make the items and the drinks that we are also selling) is about $30 over. would it be wrong to expect to get back the $30 from the sales or should I write it off as a larger than expected donation?

  • Answer:

    Just state that "all proceeds" goes to the stated goal of the charity bake sale.

If you have economical issues, then yes - you should get your money back! In fact, you should get your money back anyway since you were the only one who actually gave a rat's behind about the charity sale. Without you - there wouldn't have been *anything* to give to the charity in the first place! But then again, I am a rather bitter person. ;-) You feel like you can, or want, to donate a bit more, then you should write it off as a larger than expected donation.
