 * PROCEDURES for Scholarships and Awards:**
 * 1) ALL scholarship and awards shall be held in the California School Library Foundation CSLF accounts. This is the only way in which contributions can be claimed as tax deductible.
 * 2) All donations are made to the California School Library Foundation (CSLF) and accounted for in the CSLF treasury, including proceeds from raffles, auctions, etc. Fiscal information is reported to CSLA State Board regularly.
 * 3) Receipts are sent to donors for donations by CSLF Treasurer. //(Is this true for raffle donations and other small donation amounts?)//
 * 4) To present awards or scholarships, the responsible officer or committee takes a proposal to the CSLA State Board. If approved, the State Board makes a blanket request for a check from the CSLF treasurer //(create a payment request form like the CSLA reimbursement request that describes the purpose, to whom the check is written, and when it is needed? This could happen in conjunction with monthly CSLA Board meetings. Does that work?).// The check is sent to (//whom?)// The responsible officer or committee prepares the award/scholarship materials.
 * 5) When Board action is taken by the CSLA State and Section Boards about scholarships and awards, the information is conveyed to the CSLF at the time minutes are approved.

QUESTIONS and THOUGHTS: How should CSLA collect and maintain a list of recipients? This was formerly done in the printed directory. Can CSLA do more with news releases about major awards and who should prepare and distribute them? Should the //Technology Award// and //Above and Beyond Award// be terminated since they are no longer sponsored? CSLF needs to create request and deposit forms and make them available. CSLF and CSLA MUST convey information to committees that there is only ONE way to promise tax deductible donations and that is through the Foundation.

VP of Communications or a member of PR Committee.
