Donations to Rec Clubs
Recreational Clubs Development Fund (RECSPO)
Donate to RECSPO
The Department of Recreation has established a tax-deductible Development Fund to provide Clubs the opportunity to seek additional funding support other than that provided from their Rec Clubs Annual Budget allocation. This fund has helped support clubs for expenses such as:
- league dues and entry fees
- out of state travel
- purchase of equipment and facility rental (for clubs who cannot be provided space at the IMA)
RECSPO has also helped many clubs attend regional and national competitions.
