We know the headaches that come from disorganized, underfunded, or mismanaged booster clubs, and we’re here to help relieve some of your stress.
Fraud and Theft
Booster Club Board Members steal approximately $1 million per year from school fundraising groups and/or budgets.
Volunteer Turnover
Booster clubs, often run by part‑time parent volunteers with nearly 99% annual turnover, create ripe conditions for mismanagement and theft without strong financial controls.
Non‑Compliance with Nonprofit Regulations
More than 80% of booster clubs operate out of compliance with basic nonprofit regulations, failing to file required reports, maintain proper bylaws, or follow IRS rules, putting their leaders and schools at serious legal and financial risk.
Loss of Tax-Exempt Status Across Nonprofits
Across all nonprofit organizations, more than 28,000 lost their tax-exempt status in a single year due to failure to comply with filing and regulatory requirements—highlighting the importance of consistent compliance practices.
An umbrella booster club board brings all of a school’s individual team and program boosters under one centralized, 501(c)(3) organization. This structure streamlines fundraising, enforces consistent financial oversight, and allows each program to have parent representatives while the main board handles compliance, governance, and shared resources.
