POLICY:

Auspicing, which refers to an arrangement whereby an unincorporated organisation or group of organisations seeks the Society’s support in applying for a grant from an organisation that will only make grants to incorporated bodies, may be authorised by the Management Committee.

The Society will only agree to auspice a grant application if it is an active participant in the activity for which the grant is sought. When the Society agrees to auspice a grant application it is responsible to ensure the grant money is spent and accounted for properly.

 Responsibilities

It is the responsibility of the President to ensure that:

  • Members are aware of this policy;
  • Any breaches of this policy are brought to the attention of the Management Committee and dealt with appropriately.

Procedures

Officer(s) of the Society may sign auspicing agreements if authorised by the Management Committee.
