I too am unsure exactly how we want to consider it: for example, we don?t have a significant restricted fund for the annual state convention though we know we will spend several $1,000s on it. The question about the pledge may well be worth bringing up to the group of other affiliate treasurers or the financial staff in Baltimore.

We pledged $25K, and paid the first installment of $5,000 in November 2023. I understand each November we will pay a $5,000 installment.  I am not sure if this would be considered a restricted account, for as you are aware, once held we cannot use those funds for anything else.  And we didn't actual fundraise nor seek donations specifically for pledge.  So, I am not sure if we wish to just consider it a liability or if we want to set up restricted funds.  I wasn't able to find anything on National's website on policy.  I do meet monthly with the financial group from National and can discuss at one of the meetings, or I can just send off an email to Financial Group in Maryland.
