1.What fundraising program does JBPL offer? Jewels by Park Lane offers two fundraising programs. The Original (15%) program utilizes the entire catalog and 15% of the net sales go back to the organization. The New (50%) program offers a select group of items and 50% of the net sales go back to the organization.
2.Where can I find more information about the fundraising programs? Information about both programs can be found in the Field Interface/Fundraiser area of the JBPL website. The 50% program brochure can also be found in the Field Interface/Downloads area of the website and information about the 15% program can also be found in the Field Interface/Help & Tutorial area of the website.
3.Which program can I use for tax-exempt organizations? Both the 15% and the 50% program can be used with either tax exempt or non tax exempt organizations. The organization’s state sales tax exemption letter must be faxed/mailed to Park Lane when the order is submitted.
4.What is the Federal Organization Number? To use the 50% program, you must supply the
Federal Organization Number. This number must exactly match the name and address of the benefiting organization. This number is also known as an EIN (Employer Identification Number). It is a 9 digit number unique to that organization assigned by the IRS, similar to a person’s social security number. If an organization is not able to supply that number, you may not use the 50% fundraiser program. This is not the same as a sales tax number, which is state-issued.
5.Can I enter my fundraiser order on-line? If it is a tax exempt fundraiser, you must send it in via mail or fax as it can not be entered on-line (at this time). You will also need to send an individual customer order form for each customer, and a letter with their tax exemption information. If it is a taxable fundraiser, you may enter either fundraiser program using the Fundraiser Claim Form, or you may enter the 15% program fundraiser following the steps outlined in the tutorial.
6.Can my customers pay by credit card? If you are using the 15% program, your customers may pay by credit card, just as they do for a regular show order. If you are using the 50% program for a non-tax exempt order you may enter the customer’s credit card number in the appropriate space on the individual customer order form. If you are using the 50% program for a tax exempt order, the customers are paying the organization, so it will be up to the organization if they take credit cards or not.
7.How do I know if an organization is tax exempt or not? Simply ask them for their tax status. If they are tax exempt, they will know and will be able to supply you with a copy of their state sales tax exemption certificate or a letter stating that they are tax exempt and giving their tax exemption number.
8.Can I have the orders shipped to me? You may have the fundraiser orders shipped directly to the organization or to yourself. Simply enter the appropriate address on the form.
9.How does the organization get its money? You are responsible for collecting and giving the 15% to the organization if using the 15% program. A check will be sent directly to the organization (address belonging to the Federal Organization number) for 50% of the net sales if you are using the 50% program. That check will be mailed within one week of processing the order.
