In collecting donations, the Dark Brotherhood is committed to making sure that there is public accountability for all uses of the money. As such, the [[Grand Master]] has adopted the following regulations.
 
#The Grand Master will accept donations on behalf of the Dark Brotherhood. Donations for DB-wide services should be funneled through the GM’s office.
#The Dark Brotherhood accepts donations through [https://www.paypal.com/ PayPal] using accounts established by the Grand Master.
##PayPal donations coming from a PayPal account or a checking account should be sent to JacCotelin@gmail.com
##PayPal donations that are through credit cards should be sent to JacCotelinCC@gmail.com. The distinction is needed in order to avoid a 3% charge on free transactions.
##The Dark Brotherhood does not accept Cash and Check donations.
##Money orders are accepted. Please email the Grand Master for details.
#All donations received will remain in the PayPal account until they are needed to pay for a service or to reimburse a member. The Grand Master will not transfer any funds to sit in an outside checking or savings account.
#Donors are to email the GM, [[DGM]], [[JST]] when they send in money (to ensure that multiple persons are aware of all donations).
#After the deposit, the Grand Master must immediately send an email to the donor confirming their donation with a copy of the PayPal deposit receipt.  All emails are sent (or CC'd) to the Grand Master, Deputy Grand Master, and Justicar for confirmation of the donation.
#Server payments should be set to direct draw from the account. Service purchasers must forward all emails regarding the purchase to the GM, DGM, and JST, to confirm payment amounts. 
#The Grand Master will perform a monthly accounting of the PayPal account. This accounting must include an Income Statement and Balance Sheet. The Justicar is responsible for making sure the accounting matches his records.
#The Grand Master will post all Income Statements and Balance on the main website.
#The Dark Brotherhood is not obligated to reimburse members for Dark Brotherhood-related expenses. The [[Dark Council]] must approve all expenditures from the Dark Brotherhood Funds.
#It is the policy of the Dark Brotherhood not to reward members for financial contributions to avoid conflicts of interest. The Dark Brotherhood will not reimburse through medal or promotion.
#All donations are final.
