More About Vertical Raise
Understanding Your Fundraising Split
When you donate through Vertical Raise, here is where each dollar goes. Using a $100 donation as an example:
- Vertical Raise fee: $15. Vertical Raise keeps 15% of all donations, which leaves $85.
- Friends of Music: $51. 60% of the remaining $85 goes to FOM to support the music department and its students, from pizza for before events to decorations for Cabaret to upgraded musical instruments.
- Student Booster Credits: $34. 40% of the remaining $85 is credited to the student’s BoosterHub account.
What can Booster Credits be used for? Credits can be applied toward trips, such as the upcoming Disney trip, all state audition fees, senior banners, senior banquets, etc.
In short: of every $100 donated, $34 goes toward the student’s Booster Credits, and $51 goes right back into the music program.
