The Opportunities…<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The opportunities for sporting club or association members to assist their club financially over and above the payment of fees are threefold:<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
\n
    \n
  • \n
    in Australia, via the Australian Sports Foundation, (ASF), a Federal Government agency, donations can be made for developments or projects at a sporting club or association and donors will receive a tax deduction<\/strong> for these, (once the club’s project is registered with the ASF). The ASF is a public company established by the Federal Government in 1986 to assist Australian sport at all levels and it is listed in Section 30-90 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 which enables donations to the ASF to be eligible tax deductions. The ASF\u00a0 charges a fee of 5% of the gift for this service,<\/span><\/em><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
      \n
    • through a Bequest<\/strong> in the donor’s Will leaving part of his or her estate to the club for a particular project or fund or for unrestricted use,<\/span><\/em><\/li>\n
    • in Australia through the donation of works of art, artefacts or sporting memorabilia whereby a tax deduction would be available to the donor based on a valuation from appropriately approved valuers. This operates under the Cultural Gifts Programme<\/strong> which is jointly administered by the Commonwealth Department of Communications (Office for the Arts) and the Australian Taxation Office. In order for a club to offer deductibility under this scheme it would be necessary for the club to establish and register a museum. The museum at the Melbourne Cricket Club for example is so registered.<\/span><\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n

      With any of these opportunities naming rights could attach to the gift and the adoption of a naming rights policy by the club would help promote the concept of philanthropy within the club.<\/span><\/p>\n

      The Process…<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

      In order to provide members with the opportunity to support their club under one or more of these programmes the Club Committee would need to:<\/span><\/p>\n

        \n
      • endorse the concept(s) in principle<\/span><\/li>\n
      • set in train the necessary registration steps <\/span><\/li>\n
      • consider and possibly adopt a naming rights policy<\/span><\/li>\n
      • establish a “Development Committee” or “Foundation” to deal with the registration requirements and to then oversee the philanthropic fundraising activities of the club.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        The Next Step…<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

        Washington Services works with clubs to put the necessary structures in place, including ASF registration and advises them on implementing the process of philanthropy within the club.<\/span><\/p>\n
