Should syncro or theater teams be able to receive the 5% or just skating clubs?

5% of all purchases are given to skating clubs

5% of all purchases are given to skating clubs

This is a major issue that I would love as many people to comment on as possible. I was asked if a Theater on Ice team could act as a club and receive the 5% funding from Myskatingmall.com. The reason given was that some teams aren’t “supported” by a club and are looking for fundraising opportunities. On one hand this seems reasonable. On the other hand, it may open up a box of worms.
The 5% returned to grassroots skating is a foundational principle of Myskatingmall.com. Should we stay strictly with registered clubs, or open it further to registered teams? 
Another alternative would be Myskatingmall.com could possibly identify the purchases made by members of a team in the funds forwarded to the club. Then the club could give or spend that money for the team.
