Does your community partner have authority to raise funds through taxation?
My community partner, PSANDNU, does not have any authority to raise funds through taxation. We may be able to charge members an initiation fee and/or annual fee, but this may dramatically affect our member count. We will be involving ourselves in fundraising, but not through taxes. We have had plans in the past to do sales for edible goods, but have not currently do anything.
If so, what factors or processes are involved?
Unfortunately, PSANDNU does not tax. PSANDNU is not a government or government entity, and therefore does not have any ability to tax.
Discuss the ways in which your community partner is associated with taxing, spending, or both.
Actually, neither. The only thing we can do, is possibly influence how taxpayers money is spent. Our mission to the State Capitol was the prime example of our attempts to influence how tax money is spent. We had gone to stop cuts to spending on CAL Grants. CAL Grants are reserves of money that the state uses to help students, who meet the criteria, pay for college. This is important because it is a huge chunk of a lot of students financial aid. In the end, we have no direct say on the spending, but try to influence.
