Expenses: How do I handle my expenses for the event?

  • As a host, you can give an in-kind donation to NOVA for the
    expenses you incur in having your event.  For example, if you
    spend $100 on food and beverages, your donation would be a $100
    in-kind donation.  This in-kind donation is still 100% tax deductible
    as are the monetary donations that your guests give.

  • If you wish to request a cash reimbursement for your event for the
    cost of food etc., that is also OK as long as the amount refunded
    does not exceed 25% of the funds you raise at your event.

  • It is totally up to you as the host how you wish to manage the event
    expenses.  PHACES committee members are happy to provide
    assistance and guidance as you plan your event.

  • For expenses which require reimbursement directly from NOVA
    (such as printing brochures) and are not "in kind" donations,
    please save you receipts and turn them in directly to NOVA.  Use
    the contact us page.
