Community Fundraising Guidelines
Thank you for your interest in fundraising for Women’s Legal Service QLD. Your support will help women and their children impacted by family and domestic violence.
These guidelines have been developed to assist individuals, organisations or groups who are planning fundraising events and activities to benefit Women’s Legal Service Queensland (WLSQ). All individuals, organisations or groups who intend to raise funds for WLSQ must agree to these conditions.
The Australian Government has developed legislation governing the conduct of fundraising. Under the 1991 Charitable Fundraising Acts in each state, anyone wishing to raise money for charitable purposes must hold an authority to fundraise issued by the charity. Before starting your fundraising for WLSQ, we will need to authorise your fundraising activity. All individuals, groups or organisations who wish to fundraise must register with us, whatever the size of the event or the donation (cash or in-kind).
Please read the guidelines, then complete, sign and submit the “Permission to Fundraise form”.. The Fundraiser is not authorised to use WLSQ as its beneficiary charity until they receive an approved Authority to Fundraise letter from WLSQ.
