Fundraiser Policy & Registration

Fundraising Policy and Guidelines

Embrace FARM is regulated by the Charity Regulator, therefore we must ensure that all our ‘Third Party Fundraisers’ agree to be bound by the rules laid out by this governing body. Therefore we MUST know about your event!

Prior agreement MUST be obtained from Embrace FARM before any individual, group or organisation undertakes any fundraising activity, i.e. please register your event with Embrace FARM office by phone 085-7709966 or by emailing info@embracefarm.com

It is vital that we know people are collecting money in our name for several reasons. Unfortunately, there are people out there who collect money under false pretences so we must be aware of all fundraising carried out by our true and honest supporters.

On registering your event please have the following details to hand:

• Name of fundraising event e.g. Charity Cycle / Table Quiz
• Name, address, phone number, email address of the main organiser
• Date & time of the event
• Location of the event
• Items needed from Embrace FARM
• How Embrace FARM can support you in your fundraising

Please contact Embrace FARM for any help and advice or to discuss any ideas you may have.

We can provide you with the following promotional material for your event as required:

• T-shirts
• Hi Viz Vests
• Collection Buckets
• Lodgement slip for proceeds raised
• The Embrace FARM logo (via e-mail)

Embrace FARM can provide a letter on headed paper confirming that you are indeed holding a fundraiser for us.  Permits are required from An Garda Siochana if you are collecting in a public place.  The regulations are getting stricter now for charities regarding fundraising so we would really appreciate your assistance with this.

NB: Where all of the proceeds of a fundraiser are not coming to the Embrace FARM (e.g the funds are being split between Embrace FARM and another group) then the split (50/50 or whatever) must be made clear when registering and advertising the event.  It is essential to provide complete transparency when fundraising.

Please consult with Embrace FARM for any printed material, advertisements, media materials and press releases associated with the event. We will happily provide you with a high resolution version of our logo so you don’t have to copy it from other sources.
