Lee also has a debit card that we can use for large expenses.

Receiving Donations

These are notes for people in the group.

We can receive donations a bunch of ways. Lee is the contact person.

• Paypal (several methods)
  • Send a donation to "paypal@orbswarm.com" (this is a "Personal" Paypal account controlled by Lee)
  • At the bottom of the SWARM homepage (http://orbswarm.com) there is a Paypal link to donate to Swarm.
  • You can send people this short URL so they can donate: http://tinyurl.com/yrpzdx

• Cash - cash is always nice!

• Check under $100 (not tax deductible) - write a check payable to "Lee Sonko".

• Check over $100 (tax deductible) - Write a check for at least $100 payable to "Somarts". Make sure to get their postal address and either email or phone number. In 1-4 months, Somarts will mail them a fully tax deducible receipt.

Somarts takes a 10% commission but tax deductible receipts sometimes can get you larger donations. (it is better in the $500 and up range) It will take 1-4 months for Somarts to process it, give us a check and mail a receipt. Give the check to Lee, who will then give it to Charlie, who will give it to Somarts...

If someone wants a receipt, Get out 2 pieces of paper and...
The receipt should have:

• who it's from
• who it's to "Lee Sonko for SWARM"
• today's date
• our website http://orbswarm.com

• name of donor
• amount of donation
• their contact info. email and phone are good enough
