H. RE-EVALUATION COUNSELING COMMUNITIES FINANCES

H.5.A. ONLINE REGIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOPS, AND GATHER-INS, AND RC WEBINARS [114] (Interim Guideline change approved by IRP 2/7/24)

Payment to the Community Service Fund

For an online* Regional or International workshop, or gather-in, or RC Webinar, the organizer’s budget must include a payment to the Community Service Fund of 30% of the income, before deducting any expenses, from the fees charged for the online workshop or gather-in.[115] (Leaders and organizers should consider the need of the Community Service Funds when setting the fees charged for online workshops.)

Completing Workshop Finances

After paying all expenses, including the 30% fee described above, within 30 days of the online workshop or gather-in, the organizer must do the following:

  1. Process all workshop or gather-in payments.
  2. Divide any extra income (net income) as described below:
    1. Pay 35%, plus any remainder after the calculations below (iii. – v.), to the Community Service Fund.
    2. Pay 35% to the Publications Fund of Rational Island Publishers (RIP).
    3. Pay 20% to the leader, but this additional amount may not exceed the amount of the basic pay specified in Guideline H.11. Leader’s and Organizer’s Fees and Expenses.
    4. Pay 6% to the organizer, but this additional amount may not exceed the amount of the basic pay specified in Guideline H.11. Leader’s and Organizer’s Fees and Expenses.
    5. Pay 4% to the tech leader, but this additional amount may not exceed the amount of the basic pay specified in Guideline H.11. Leader’s and Organizer’s Fees and Expenses.
  3. Send the completed Form 400A (for online events) and payment to RCCR within thirty (30) days of the workshop or gather-in. (Forms, including online self-calculating forms, found at rc.org/forms.)
  4. Send a copy of the completed Form 400A to the online workshop leader.

These two subsections of Guideline H.5. Regional and International Workshops and Gather-ins, Unexpected Shortfalls at Workshops and Purpose of Funds, also apply to this Guideline.

(See Appendix: Forms, [printed version page 113] for an example of completed Form 400A)

REASON

This is a convenient collection point for the Community’s Outreach Funds. The procedures described lessen restimulations about accounting for the funds, help compensate leaders, organizers, and tech leaders for handling larger workshops, gather-ins, and RC Webinars; and support the International Outreach and Publications Funds.


[114] This Guideline has the force of a requirement for being part of the RC Community.

* In an online event, everyone attends via the internet, though some groups may gather together locally to participate.
