Funding requests

How is money from membership fees and other fundraisers distributed? All funds are pooled together and distributed by the executive board to support all student activities. Requests for funding are made by coaches, teachers, advisors, and others. All requests are discussed and voted on at the regular monthly booster club executive board meeting. Here are a few examples of items we’ve helped fund:

• Expenses that are outside of regularly budgeted needs

• Items that enrich the student experience (wireless microphones for auditorium, post-prom activities)

• Travel support (Spanish Club, Band, Baseball team, Choir) 

• Facility/training needs  (camcorders, HUDL subscription and iPads for athletic teams, pitching machines)

If you’d like to request funding, please fill out a funding request form and email it to tbird-boosters@iola.k12.wi.us and on or before the Friday preceding the regular monthly meeting (held the third Wednesday of each month). 

When making a request, we ask that a coach/advisor attend the meeting to answer any questions that might arise. If you cannot attend, please send a knowledgeable representative to the meeting. If you are a coach or advisor, please encourage students in your organization to be active volunteers in the concession stand and at other booster club events.
