COMMUNITY FUND Question and Answer Sheet

Q: What is the Community Fund? A: It is a vendor generated fund that is part of a contract agreement for products and services currently utilized by the Oneida Tribe of Indians of WI. Q: Where did the Community Fund come from? A: It evolved from the older vendor agreement. The Community Fund was created after an internal audit and Standard Operating Procedures were completed. Q: What is the process to request funding or products? A: Information packets can be obtained from the Finance Office. Once received requests are placed on the next meeting of the Finance Committee who review Community Fund requests once each month. Q: Who can apply to the Community Fund? A: All enrolled members of the Oneida Tribe of Indians of Wisconsin are eligible. Q: Can departments within the Oneida Tribal organization utilize this fund? A: Tribal departments can request products for employee /community events. They are excluded from the fund request portion as all tribal department funding is covered under the budget process. Q: How are requests reviewed and who reviews them? A: The Treasurer, CFO and Finance Committee drafted Standard Operating Procedures for equitable distribution of funding and products. The Finance Committee that is chaired by the Treasurer reviews all requests. Q: What types of requests are covered under the Community Fund? A: There are three categories covered under the Community Fund; 1) Tribal and Public School System Events, 2) Oneida Community Events and 3) Fund raising activi- ties for Oneida Community causes. Excluded from this fund are travel requests as well as requests for personal expenses. Q: Are there funding limits for requests to the Community Fund? A: Yes. Requests from individuals are limited to $500 per individual/event per year and requests from groups/organizations are limited to $1,500 per group/event per year. Q: Will I receive a 1099 if I receive a donation from the Community Fund? A: No. Donations from the Community Fund are considered gifts and therefore exempt from being classified as taxable income. www.kalihwisaks.com Sports March 10, 2011 • (U’skah Yaw^=le) 11B
