Group Contributions
The following information is intended to assist a group’s Treasurer when disbursing funds that go beyond the group’s current expenses and a prudent reserve.
Each group is autonomous and can allocate its funds as guided by the group conscience.
The WSO & NCWSA each incur a cost of $330 per meeting per year to provide support,
information, and resources such as websites and apps. To help meet their budget, they
rely on quarterly donations. It is recommended that each group donate up to $80-85 each
quarter to both NCWSA and WSO. The WSO conducts separate quarterly appeals, and
$80-85 includes that appeal. After setting aside a sufficient reserve for your meeting, the
remaining donation goes to your home district, D14.
For all contributions, include your group’s WSO number on checks so your group can be properly credited for its donations. If not included, the donation will be considered as coming from an individual. The WSO number can be found on the meeting schedule.
