Money Matters

Money Matters.…From the Club Treasurer

The Sacramento Capitol A’s are a non-profit corporation designated per IRS guidelines as a 501(c)(7) Social Club.  In a nut shell, this means we are exempt from federal income taxes, and our income from non-members cannot exceed a certain amount annually.  It also means that donations and payments made to us are NOT tax deductible.

Payments made to the Club are usually for annual membership dues or for our annual anniversary celebration.  However, there may also be other times money is collected.

Membership Dues are paid annually anytime between October 1 through December 31 for the following calendar year.  Our current Dues are $50 per year.  Payments received or post marked after December 31st are considered late and a $10 late payment fee is due in addition to the current dues rate of $50 for a total of $60. 

New Memberships are $50 plus an administrative one-time $10 which covers the costs of the membership packet, MAFCA name badges, and postage.

Anniversary Celebration costs are often just the cost of the actual meal.  The Club covers the cost of the facility and any other costs pertaining to the event.
