Booster Clubs Don't Just Support Programs — They Protect Opportunity

Extracurricular programs don't survive on passion alone. They survive because booster clubs' step in to fill the funding and support gaps that schools can no longer cover. From equipment and travel to scholarships and life-changing experiences, booster clubs make opportunity possible — year after year, student after student.


But today's booster leaders are being asked to do more than ever before, often without training, guidance, or protection. Boostering Unleashed exists because good intentions aren't enough anymore. Booster clubs need structure. Schools need consistency. Volunteers need a system that actually works — and lasts beyond any single school year.

DISTRICT ASSESSMENT

Assessing District Vulnerability with Independent Booster Clubs

Instructions

For each question below, answer based on current district-wide policy and verified practice across ALL your booster organizations (Athletic, Band, Theater, Academic, etc.).

The quiz comprises three sections and will take an average of 2 to 5 minutes to complete.

Upon completion you will be shown your result in real time.

Does the district mandate that every booster organization require two unrelated signatures on every outgoing check or digital disbursement?

Does the district receive an annual, end-of-year financial report from every booster organization operating using the school's name?

Does the district forbid school employees (coaches, teachers, principals) from having signing authority on booster bank accounts to prevent conflicts of interest?

Do you know, within a reasonable margin of error, the total combined gross revenue generated by all booster clubs in your district last year?

Does the district have a strictly enforced policy prohibiting direct payments, stipends, or excessive personal gifts from booster clubs directly to school employees (coaches, directors)?

Does the district maintain a current file verifying the active State Secretary and IRS 501(c)(3) status of every booster club to ensure donations are legally tax-deductible?

Can you verify that every booster club filed their required IRS Form 990 last year?

Does every booster club carry their own General Liability and Directors & Officers (D&O) insurance policies, separate from the district's coverage?

Does the district have current copies of the bylaws for every operating booster club on file?

Is a campus administrator (Principal or AD) required to approve all booster fundraising activities before they are announced to the public?

Does the district provide a standardized mandatory training or "onboarding" process for new booster club officers each year?

Does the district require an annual review of combined booster expenditures (Athletic and Fine Arts) to ensure there are no significant disparities that could create a Title IX liability for the school?

If a booster treasurer suddenly quit today, does the district know if that club has a secure data succession plan to recover financial records and passwords?
