MFC supports and encourages team as individual player fundraisers, to help fund the growing cost of competitive soccer.

Fundraising opportunities are nearly endless, and most players families should be able to find one or more that matches their interest and ability.  Many local and regional merchants offer fundraising opportunities.  Many regional and national fundraising programs can also be found online.

Club Policy:

• All fundraisers must be pre-approved by the Board of Directors or the Finance Committee.  Submit approval form to: Finance@mantecafc.net.
• No Fundraisers involving raffles, sports pools or gambling of any kind.
• Teams should make all fundraisers available to all players and their families, but should not require all players to participate in all fundraisers.  
• It should be made clear to all families how each team fundraiser will be conducted, and how funds raised will be distributed (evenly, based on player/family participation/contribution/sales level, etc).  Funds from each fundraisers do not need to be distributed to players whose families do not participate in that fundraiser.
• All income and expense reimbursement must flow through the Club bank account.
• Make all checks payable to:  Manteca FC
• When fundraiser is complete, submit income along with Fundraiser using the Fundraiser Reconciliation form.  Attach any invoices, receipts or worksheets.  Must be done within 15 days of fundraiser closure.
• Do not pay reimbursements from income collected.  Submit receipt with the name of person to be reimbursed and the Club will issue the reimbursement.
• If the fundraiser is intended for a specific reason other than Player Accounts, submit the invoice and the Club will issue a check for payment of expense.  The funds must be requested within 30 days after the end of the fundraiser.  Any profit remaining will be divided and credited to Player Accounts.

About the Proceeds:
