1. Why we fund raise?

The Catholic Guides of Ireland is a nationwide uniformed organisation open to all women and girls. Our

mission is to provide a challenging Guiding programme within a safe environment, to enable all girls and

young women to develop their full potential.

For our youth members to reach their full potential we provide a diverse programme of activities, ranging

from team games, through hikes, to international camps. To run these activities requires equipment, training

and transport. As member’s weekly subscriptions are the only regular source of income, units need to fund

raise to cover all these costs, this enables the unit to make guiding more affordable for some girls.

How to use this booklet?

This booklet contains five detailed checklist for running small , medium , and large fund

raisers.

Some of these can be organised quickly and easily , others will take more planning , while some

will require a substantial amount of organisation .

The main legal requirements covering asking members of the public for funds are briefly mentioned, but you

must always check the up to date position by referring to National guidelines and the ICTR website.

Each checklist covers what you need to consider in choosing an event, how to plan the event, what to do at

the event, and how to make sure after the event, everything has been completed. Sample advertising flyers,

letters to parents, requests for sponsorship, and thank you letters to sponsors are included in the appendix.

Use checklists as your starting point; after reading them, also read the additional ideas at the back and then let

your own imaginations run wild. For your fund raising to be successful , your events need to be that little bit

new, that little bit different, and then they will be talked about in your community.

2. Hints and tips

Organising events When organising a fundraising event, regardless of size

o Ensure you have plenty of help, get as many of your section leaders involved as possible.

o Nominate one person for each task – one person one job, this way you can be sure everything is covered and if not it will become obvious very quickly.

o Hold event planning meetings regularly so that problems are identified early and nothing is left until the last minute.

o Always check if you need a permit or licence – don’t leave it to chance

o No one under the age of 14 years can take part in a Cash Collection (e.g. bag pack, street collection,

etc.)

Advertising events

Advertise as widely as possible

o Use your local radio station’s community diary to plug your event

o Send in free tickets for large event to be given out as a spot prize on a radio programme

o Have it mentioned in your local parish newsletter, and in your local papers community notices

o Include your next fund raiser when sending out a note to your parents about upcoming guide activities, especially if you need spot prizes donated.

o Advertise your next event at the one you are holding

o Get people talking about your event – word of mouth is the best advertising there is.

Sponsors When approaching sponsors

o Try where possible to get the name of the person you are approaching

o If a business refuses to donate a spot prize always remain polite and respectful – businesses are under pressure and sometimes just cannot afford to give donations.

o When you do get a donation always note the name of the person who gave it to you, this way you can personalise their thank you letter

o Never forget to thank your sponsors – you may need to approach them again in the future.

Costs Keep your event costs as low as possible – every euro in cost reduces the net amount of money raised. But

don’t be penny wise and pound foolish, sometimes you need to spend money to raise money.

Keep your members informed Keep a fundraising tracker in your meeting hall so the girls feel involved in the fund raising; you could also get

whoever brings in the most money at an event the job of filling in the tracker for that event.

3. Legal considerations

Licence to run a raffle

All raffles are legally considered lotteries under the Gaming and Lotteries Act 1956. This defines lotteries (raffles) as either being

Private - where you restrict the value of prizes and who can buy tickets

Public - where prizes can be up to the value of €20,000 and members of the public can buy tickets You do not usually require a license for a private lottery as long as

the prize fund is less than €4000

you do not send tickets out in the post The following raffles would be classified as private lotteries

1. Raffle tickets sold to people attending an event such as a table quiz, cake sale or fashion show 2. Tickets are only sold to members of your unit, or sections.

All other raffles or lotteries are public lotteries and you must obtain a license from your local District Court before you organise the event.

Applying for a license to hold a public lottery To apply for a public lottery license you must complete Form: 66.3 Application for a lottery licence - Gaming and Lotteries Act 1956 which can be downloaded from www.courts.ie. To complete the form you must

- Nominate a person who will become the license holder and is then responsible for ensuring the lottery is run properly

- The date of the District Court sitting the license application will be made - The date you will first start to sell tickets - The date you will stop selling tickets - The type of lottery – ticket draw, spot the ball, scratch card etc - The purpose of the lottery - Any commissions or payments you will make to ticket sellers - The list of all prizes and their values

You must send the completed form to - Garda Síochána Superintendent for the area where the lottery will be held - Clerk of the District Court

At least 28 days before the District Court hearing You can find out the next District Court sitting at www.courts.ie or by ringing your local court office. Remember if you’re not sure whether you require a license or not, check with your Garda station or a solicitor.

Garda permits for cash collections To collect cash in any public place, or by calling house to house, or holding a Church Gate Collection you must have a Garda permit. Garda permits are issued under the Street and House to House Collections Act 1962. Public places are not just limited to public property (e.g. street, park) but also includes any building that the public can access, even if they have to pay to access it (e.g. cinema, restaurant). The Charities Act 2009 extends the requirement to have a Garda permit where you collect pledges (e.g. direct debits, standing orders) rather than actual cash.

Applying for a Garda permit to collect cash Garda permits are obtained from the Garda Division, not your local Garda Station. Contact your local Garda station to find out what is appropriate Garda Division. You must write, at least 14 days before the proposed collection, to the Chief Superintendent of the Garda Division where the collection will be held. You must specify

- The person to be the permit holder (identified by name, address, telephone and date of birth) - Your Unit name - Unit secretary name - CGI Head office address - The proposed date of the collection - The proposed times of the collection (e.g. from 9am to 5pm) - Where the collection will be held - How the collection will be done – e.g. collection boxes house to house, also if there is any novelty

feature such as a bed push, or fancy dress this must be specified - How many collectors will there be - Purpose of the collection – what you will do with the money raised

The permit is only valid for 6 months, so annual events require a permit to be applied for each year. A sample letter to send to the Chief Superintendent and other relevant information can be found at http://www.ictr.ie/files/Garda Permits Good Practice_web.pdf

Remember anyone under the age of 14 years cannot act as a collector in a cash collection

Raffle tickets Raffle prizes

Letter to parents, see Appendix 1. Letter to possible prize sponsors, see Appendix 2

Announcement of winners after event Advertising prior to event e.g. Posters in meeting room

Things to consider The maximum amount your raffle can raise is the number of tickets sold by the face value of the tickets. Although people will often buy a ticket for a good cause, it is more difficult to sell tickets if the price if the ticket is expensive compared with the quality of the prize. To ensure the full raffle proceeds are raised, look for sponsorship of the prizes from local businesses. Minimise your costs by using pre-printed books of raffle tickets. Make sure you have the prizes ready (delivered) before the raffle date. To ensure it runs smoothly, delegate the different jobs (tickets, prizes, advertising) to different people.

Prior to raffle Send out flyer to parents containing all relevant information

o Cost of tickets o Prizes o Raffle date and time

Night of raffle Clearly label prizes – 1st 2nd 3rd Label every prize with name of sponsor Ensure every ticket sold is included in draw

Thank the sponsors Announce winner(s) of draw

After raffle Make sure winners of the draw are advertised Arrange delivery of prizes that were not collected on the night Send thank you letters to sponsors, see Appendix 3. Use this raffle as part of a bigger fundraiser i.e. Fashion Show or could be held at the end of an open event such as an Investiture, Parents Night; or at Unit Events such as your Christmas, Halloween or Easter Party.

Table quiz

Quiz Questions

When organising your quiz questions remember the following:

Don’t have the questions too easy or too difficult so everyone thinks they have a chance of winning.

Aim for 5/6 easier questions with 2/3 more difficult and then a couple of stingers – this will keep the audience interested but show up the stronger teams.

Try to include some guide orientated questions to keep the girls interested.

Make sure the questions are clear and concise so as not to cause confusion with the answers. Cheating during the quiz Because so many people smart phones the temptation to look up answers is huge - to avoid cheating You could consider:

Not allowing phones at all

Docking points off anyone caught using a phone to look up answers

If the sound system will allow, could the quizmaster walk around the room when calling the questions

9. Other ideas Small fundraisers

Spare Change Campaign

Give all your girls a small plant pot to collect spare change at home. After 6 weeks,

ask them to bring the pots back in, giving a small prize to whoever collected the

most.

Santa Letters

Send personalised Santa response letters to children charging approximately €2 per

letter. Stationary and postage will cost about €1, so you raise about €1 per letter

sent.

Christmas Cards

Have a Christmas Card design competition for each section in your unit. Print the

winning designs, and sell the finished cards in packs of 8 for €5 to friends and

family.

Time of first score

Pick a high profile match such as a Champions League final or a 6 Nations match or

an All-Ireland final. This can be adapted for first try in rugby, goal in hurling and so

on. (Note this won’t work for some sports such as basketball)

Football Knockout competition

Run a regional football tournament for each section. Invite local scout groups and

run guide v scout, brígín v cub competitions. Charge a fee for entry and pick up

small trophies or medals from local euro shops.

Medium fundraisers

Hair & Beauty Evening

Arrange a hair and beauty demonstration with a local hairdresser and beautician

offering advice on what makeup to wear, how to style your hair for all ages. Would

they be willing to sponsor a makeover as a raffle prize.

Flower Arranging Demonstration

Have a local florist host a seasonal flower arranging demonstration showing how to

make, for example a Christmas table display, and raffle the completed arrangement

at the end of the night.

Books & Games Sale

Ask for good quality books and games and sell them. Anything that is not sold on

the day could be sold, to your local second hand book shop which will maximise

profits, or can donated to a local charity shop.

27

Large fundraisers

Dance Evening

If any of your guides are involved in a dance school would the school be interested

in co-hosting a dance evening with you?

Bag Pack In your local supermarket

Contact your local supermarket and ask for permission to do a bag pack in their

store. Discount supermarkets generally don’t allow bag packers. You cannot

request a date, the store will assign a date and time to you.

Ensure you have enough packers on the day so no checkout is left unattended, you

will also need a co-ordinator. Make sure all your packers know how to pack food

and non-food items. Have a designated person collect the money from you at

regular intervals throughout the day.

You will have to provide buckets and bibs for all your packers.

Cookery Demonstration

Ask a well- known chef or the head chef from a local hotel to host a cookery

demonstration for you. Have the hotel sponsor the room.

Could local food producers be interested in putting a stand in the room, and

offering tastings during the night? They could donate a hamper of their produce as

a raffle prize.

Entry tickets would need to be sold and raffle tickets sold on the night.

Greyhound Racing Night

Contact your local greyhound track and ask them to help arrange a fundraising

night for you. Irish Greyhound Board offers three fund raising packages at some

venues which can raise from €1,000 to more than €15,000.

This involves selling entry tickets with pre-printed race cards. Advertisements in the

race cards need to be sold to local businesses, and tickets need to be sold for

attendance.

Buster tickets, which list the finishing order of the 6 dogs, can be sold. There is a

maximum of 720 tickets available per race.

Sponsorship of individual races and dog nominations can also be sold. A typical race

night can involve 11 races with 66 dogs.

For more information contact your local stadium via www.igb.ie

Other ideas could be Wine tasting evening, cinema premiere, silver mile, cow pat lottery, bed push, fancy

dress walk.

Remember the more unusual your event is, the more people will talk about it, the better the attendance, the

higher the funds you will raise. Let your imagination run wild.

Appendix 1 – Sample parents letter

St Elsewhere Guide Unit

September2013

Dear Parent

Our Summer Camp is the highlight of the Guiding year as it allows our girls to put into practise the skills

they have learned throughout the year. This year we need to replace tents and cooking equipment also

to enable as many of our girls to afford to participate in the camp, any additional funds we raise will be

used to reduce the cost of the camp.

Our target this year is €2000. To achieve this we will be holding fundraising events during the coming

guiding year. We will be encouraging the girls to help organise and run many of these events

themselves (we will be in the background to supervise and support).

This year the events will be

Fashion Show October Arnold Hotel

Christmas raffle December Guide hall
