Paying for vacation with fundraiser?
by: Lewis in NC

Maybe this is known as a loaded question. If the church body/leaders reach a consensus on doing this, then there is nothing really wrong with it. What if the pastor's salary is low and he/she is doing a great job and needs to be rewarded, then the congregation probably can deal with it. The amount for the vacation; however, will need to be added into the salary on the yearly W-2 form. Ideally, a church should provide an adequate salary for the pastor to afford his/her own vacation.

If you want to DIY your payroll, I highly recommend you look at using Gusto! It is very user friendly and their support is awesome! Plus they know how to set up and maintain payrolls for churches and nonprofit organizations.

Note: I am a "partner" of Gusto, but as I have told you before ... I never recommend anything that we or our clients have not tried and love =)
