GRANT AID

 

For members who have Group responsibilities, they may have been hampered by the amount of money that goes through the accounts, when applying for grants.

The following explains why monies collected to be passed on to District, Counties & HQ in the way of Membership Subscriptions

should NOT be included  as part of the annual income

------------------------------------

If Groups are correctly using HQ Model Accounts.

see Factsheets LT700002 or LT700004 depending on your group's needs They state that:-

 

"Membership Subscriptions, less :

Membership Subscriptions paid on (ie to National, county or district)

Net Membership subscriptions retained"

 

In language understandable to non-accountants, this means that Group income (For grants applications) is the net figure when subscriptions have been paid out each year - ie the Group are not collecting them for themselves, but on behalf of others.
