Business Sponsorship
Please review our policy for business sponsorship BEFORE approaching businesses. Thanks!
CHURCHES – With our visit to the Vatican, there are several churches in our community that have expressed interest in supporting our trip. If you are a member of a church, please let me know ASAP so we can include you in our letter to your church. Doesn’t matter if you only attend once a year, a member is a member. All funding received from churches will go directly to the Trip General Fund, unless the church specifically requests that the funds be distributed in another way (we always honour our donors’ requests).
LARGE CORPORATIONS/ORGANIZATIONS (any business/organization/fund that requires you to submit an application form) – We require Council approval to apply for funding to ensure that we don’t duplicate efforts already underway by the NL Council. Generally speaking, any fund that requires an application form won’t allow funding for travel, but these are still great sources for equipment or for funding our program.
PRIVATE OR SMALLER BUSINESSES (businesses that are able to directly approve donations) – 90% of the donation will go towards the trip fundraising account of the youth who arranged the donation, 5% will go to the youth’s section and 5% to Group Committee. This is of course unless the business specifically requests that the funds be distributed in another way (we always honour our donors’ requests). All businesses are to be contacted IN-PERSON and in FORMAL uniform if they are reasonably local (ie: Exploits Valley).
