Moolah Reports

Clubs/groups are responsible for keeping detailed financial records including a system for tracking income, expenses, reimbursements, etc. (all money that goes in and out of a group’s treasury). To assist with this, Winnebago County Leaders’ Association created “Moolah Reports” to manage and track financial requests from their membership.

Leaders’ Association
The Moolah Reports (below) are used to access funds for committees/groups who operate under the Winnebago County 4-H Leaders’ Association Charter. The UW-Extension office assists the Leaders’ Association treasurer as the sole point of collection for Moolah Reports. The treasurer processes these reports on a bi-monthly basis.

The Winnebago County 4-H Leaders’ Association purchases a Temporary Food Stand permit each year for food-related fundraisers like the Dipper.

Raffle Fundraisers

Conducting a raffle in Wisconsin without a license is ILLEGAL. Wisconsin law provides that only charitable organizations can obtain a raffle license in Wisconsin. Individuals and businesses do not qualify for a raffle license and are unable to legally conduct raffles to benefit an individual or other organization. In these instances, we suggest conducting a silent auction or utilizing a game of skill. Any game of chance is illegal in Wisconsin except for licensed bingos, licensed raffles and tribal gaming and only charitable organizations are eligible to receive a raffle license. Unlicensed raffles constitute illegal gambling, and can subject the participants to criminal penalties.

The 4-H Leaders’ Association has both a Class A and Class B Raffle Licenses that are available to all 4-H groups throughout the year.

State of Wisconsin Raffle Regulations:

Using the Leaders’ Association Raffle License:

  • Request the License at least 1 week in advance to make sure it is available to use (ARolph@winnebagocountywi.gov or 920-232-1974). As an organization we are not allowed to conduct more than one raffle in each class category per day.
  • Report expenses and income to the Extension Office within 1 week of the completion of your Raffle. We are required to include a financial report with our raffle license RENEWAL annually.
  • Winners of the raffle must be reported to the Extension Office to be kept on file with a record of raffle usage.
