Percentage from Fundraising

Question

Hello, I wanted to ask if a young man collecting money for a yeshiva during Purim can take a percentage for himself if it will motivate him to collect. A. Is it permissible according to the law and how many percent? B. Is it appropriate? Thank you very much.

Answer

Hello 

It is forbidden to take a percentage without the consent of the responsible gabbaim. 

When it is permitted to take, the allowance is up to 30%.
