Nonprofit Law - Booster Clubs and Sports Teams

Expert: Harvey Mechanic - 11/6/2009

Question
Does a Booster Club have to be separate from their 501c3 team in order to be legal? We have a sports team we want to support, but we are concerned about our support going through the team and not a separate club. Please advise.

Answer
The term "booster club" is a vague term in reference to tax and entity law. Therefore, there may be a committee within a 501(c)(3) organization that may concentrate on fundraising and be called the "booster club".
