15. CHARITY POLICY

Briar Hill Community at large supports many charities by their donations and​ volunteer services in the broader community. Fairness and balance in the use of​ the Centre is managed by the Board in consideration of the residents at large and​ in adherence to the terms of its lease agreement.

    1. All Activities and/or Events that wish to book the Centre and provide support​ to a charity must have the prior approval of the Board.
    2. Only charities that are in support of the local community will be considered.​ For example: Alliston Food Bank, Alliston Women’s Shelter and Matthews House.  Broader based​ charities would not be considered. For example: African Relief, National​ Health Campaigns, etc.
    3. All Activities and Events must be sponsored and coordinated by a resident.
    4. The sponsoring resident is responsible for the Activity and/or Event.
    5. Activities and Events are to be for the Briar Hill Community and​ their guests and not for the broader community at large.
    6. Activities and Events are to be held in accordance with the policies and rules​ of the Centre.
    7. All Activities and/or Events for charity are required to contribute to the Centre.
    8. All advertising must clearly state that the proceeds after expenses (including​ a contribution to the BHCC) will be donated to the selected charity.
    9. A full Financial Statement of the Activity or event is to be filed with the Board​ to ensure full transparency, within thirty (30) days after the event date.
    10. The Board will consider limiting the number of charity Activities and Events as​ well as the frequency of any one charity being supported.
