event must be conducted in the

employees or agents of
Landcare Australia, nor are
they acting in any other
representative capacity.
Landcare Australia does not
take any responsibility in the
coordination of your fundraising
event, nor can its employees
assist in sourcing prizes, venues,
organising publicity, or providing
goods, services or financial
assistance to the fundraiser in
the running of the event.

insurance. Depending on the
nature of your event, Landcare
Australia may advise that you

The use of Landcare’s brand, name and logo

your fundraising event will be
permitted under the following
conditions:
Strictly no changes to colour,
design or reproducing the logo

The relationship between your
event and Landcare Australia
as the recipient of funds must
be clearly stated. For example,
‘Raising funds for Landcare
Australia’ or ‘All money
raised will support Landcare
Australia’.
that is already covered by
public liability insurance. In
all circumstances, ensuring
adequate insurance is the
responsibility of the event
organiser. If Landcare Australia
has cause to believe that a
proposed fundraising event
is dangerous, we may request
proof that public liability
insurance cover is in place.
Managing the money
Responsibility of managing
the funds raised rests entirely
with the fundraiser, and needs
to comply with the applicable
fundraising legislation in your
state or territory.
Fundraising legislation is in
place to protect the interests of
the public. It’s important that

records and copies of
receipts and invoices. A
receipt template can be
provided on request once
your event is approved.

fundraiser’s responsibility,
but can be deducted from
the proceeds of the event.
