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.
-
- 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.
- 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.
- All Activities and Events must be sponsored and coordinated by a resident.
- The sponsoring resident is responsible for the Activity and/or Event.
- Activities and Events are to be for the Briar Hill Community and their guests and not for the broader community at large.
- Activities and Events are to be held in accordance with the policies and rules of the Centre.
- All Activities and/or Events for charity are required to contribute to the Centre.
- All advertising must clearly state that the proceeds after expenses (including a contribution to the BHCC) will be donated to the selected charity.
- 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.
- The Board will consider limiting the number of charity Activities and Events as well as the frequency of any one charity being supported.
