Guidelines

  2. Only fundraisers consistent with the vision and mission of the QAF will be approved. The QAF will not approve events that:
    a. Employ a professional fundraiser, telemarketing firm and/or have any agreement to raise funds on a commission, bonus, or percentage basis (except for cause-marketing with corporate partners) b. Promote a political party, candidate, or appearing to endorse a political activity c. Solicit funds door-to-door, through telemarketing, or through internet methods.
  3. The Organizer agrees to submit all copy for advertisements and other event-related promotional materials to the QAF and to obtain the QAF’s written permission before their production and distribution. The QAF expressly reserves the right to final approval on anything that uses the QAF’s name and/or logo.
  4. To use the QAF’s name and/or logo, at least 50% of the Event’s gross proceeds must be donated to the QAF. In all materials, the specifics of the donation must be clearly stated, either by the percentage (eg. 50% of the ticket price) or specific dollar amounts (eg. $5 from each ticket sold.)
  5. As people may support your event because they believe they are supporting the QAF, we will also ask for a guaranteed amount to be donated to the QAF before we will give final approval on your event. Depending on what you are proposing, this amount may vary.
  6. The Organizer agrees to handle all monetary transactions for the event and will present the proceeds to the QAF within 60 days along with detailed accounting. The Organizer acknowledges the QAF adheres to the receipting policies of the Canada Customs and Revenue Agency. Please note that not all funds raised qualify for a tax receipt.
  7. The Organizer agrees to underwrite all costs of the event and/or to secure such underwriting. The QAF is not responsible for any financial losses. The Organizer agrees to receive advance written approval from QAF before requesting any donations/sponsorships (cash or in-kind) from any organization or individual.
  8. The QAF accepts no legal responsibility for the event and cannot be held liable for any risk or injury, or other damages in conjunction with the event. The Organizer must obtain all necessary permits, licenses, and insurance relating to the event and will provide QAF with copies of the above at least 2 weeks before the event start date.
  9. The Organizer will arrange staff/volunteers to organize and run the fundraiser. This is an opportunity for you and your group to raise funds in support of children and youth living on Vancouver Island. The QAF may be able to provide some level of assistance for events expected to raise over $5,000.
  10. The Organizer agrees to use its own mailing list and/or contacts. The QAF will not actively sell tickets to the event and/or purchase tickets for attendance by QAF representatives. The Organizer is asked to give the QAF two complimentary tickets for use by the QAF staff and/or board.
  11. Approval of the Organizer’s application is only valid for the event detailed in the proposal. Events held in subsequent years and/or are of a different format must also be submitted for approval.
