Don’t underestimate those that you know and their abilities.
Sunday, March 25th, 2007After many months of trying to find out how raised funds can be maximised (i.e. not unnecessarily taxed until they have been allocated to a cause), I got the answer from my regular accountant.
As I need to raise significant funds, I thought I’d ask the charities commission, the inland revenue and another accountant who deals with larger projects than I have managed recently. None of the individual sources had answers for me and simply referred me to the other sources. I went round and round in circles and gave up for a while whilst I had to attend to my gran’s needs.
When I found some time to think about the matter again, I met my accountant and told him what I was trying to do and how and if I could maximise the funds.
My 10 minute meeting with the accountant created a solution which was much more simple than anything I had anticipated.
So, I know feel confident in moving forwards and developing my fundraising idea.
I just need to find the time to do it now.
