Just spoken with the Premier’s Appeal. We are now approved to raise funds on their behalf and don't need to have Office of Fair Trading Sanction. There are some rules:
We’re NOT allowed to use the Premier’s Disaster Relief Appeal logo (that’s a biggie)
100% of proceeds are to go to the Appeal.
All events have to be completed and money sent in by end of March.
If anyone makes a cash donation and wants a receipt for tax purposes I need to know their name, address and phone number. I log the donation and the Appeal will send out a receipt.
A tax receipt cannot be issued for money given where something is received in return – eg payment for class, door charge etc.
We are registered as of NOW (2.30pm 20/1/11) and can go ahead with fund raising. They will mail me an Approval Number and other documentation, but as they are short staffed from the flood it might take a little while. Once received I'll pass on anything that pertinant.
Other things to be aware of - we are NOT allowed to use the Premier's Disaster Relief Appeal logo on ANYTHING. I will have an Appeal poster emailed to me and you can use this in conjunction with Corrosie's poster and any personal advertising. They are also going to send me a label that can be used on collection tins.
We're officially rolling Ladies and Gents!!!!
