How will the Gator Club supplement the money lost as result of the combined dues membership?
A. Clubs can ask for scholarship and/or activity fund contributions to replace dues collected from memberships. There should not be a series of different structures within the clubs that give the impression of separate membership dues. All voluntary contributions should not be specific in the amount; it should be left up the contributor to decide. A portion of the contribution may be eligible for a charitable contribution deduction. Clubs can begin to charge a minimal fee at monthly meetings and other club functions. Clubs can obtain corporate sponsorships and begin to use them to offset event costs.
