Fundraising Guidelines

Before hosting a fundraiser for the Jack and Jill Children’s Foundation please carefully read these guidelines.

Please complete and submit the Fundraising Undertaking Form to us as soon as possible.
You must be 18 years or over to organise a Fundraising event. (if under 18, please get written permission from a parent/guardian).
We are happy to offer advice and guidance for coordinating your event. However, the overall running of the event, including expenses, record keeping and management, is ultimately the fundraiser’s responsibility.
Our insurance does not extend to volunteer events. We recommend you seek independent insurance advice.
You will need to obtain a permit from your local Garda station if your event involves collections from the public.
If you are organising a raffle where tickets are to be sold to anyone other than to your guests, you should contact your local authority for advice. All lotteries must comply with the law.
If you plan to ask for contributions, sponsorship, or gifts from businesses, please ask for a letter of Authorisation. Your Jack and Jill team member can arrange this along with Thank You letters/receipts.
Approval to repeat an event must be requested each year.

Financial Recommendations:

Where possible, it is recommended that at least two people are involved with the counting and remitting of proceeds.
All net proceeds must be submitted to the Jack and Jill Children’s Foundation within 30 days of the conclusion of the event.
Jack and Jill are not responsible for cash sent through the post. Details of alternative methods of lodgement are available from your Jack and Jill contact.
If supporters would like individual receipts, please provide a list including name, address, telephone number, e-mail and donation amount.

In naming your event, the Jack and Jill Children’s Foundation should not be used in the title, but rather as the beneficiary of the proceeds. For example: ‘Anytown Golf Club Lunch in aid of the Jack and Jill Children’s Foundation’.
Prior approval is advisable from the Jack and Jill Children’s Foundation for any printed materials, advertisements, media materials and releases associated with the event.
We can provide a high-resolution version of the Jack and Jill logo. It is not advisable to source it from other areas, including online, as the reproduction of the image could be poor.
