The State Agency goal is for at least 50% of school fundraiser days to be compliant with Smart Snacks nutrition standards (7CFR§210.11) or be non-food related fundraisers.
· All fundraisers, both exempted and compliant, must be tracked
· Per the Idaho state policy, up to ten exempted fundraisers per school may be approved by the school administrator.
· Fundraisers meeting Smart Snacks nutrition standards are not limited and only need local approval.
· An exempted fundraiser can be for a maximum of four consecutive school days.
· Fundraisers in excess of four consecutive school days will be counted as two or more fundraisers. Always round up to the nearest whole number. For example, a nine-day fundraiser would count as three fundraisers (9 days divided by 4 days = 2.25 fundraisers).
All exempted fundraisers beyond the ten locally approved exempted fundraisers must be pre-approved by the State agency using the Idaho Exempted Fundraiser Request Form
