Proposal for a Charity
Program
February 2008
Current situation
• NCISL has a relationship with the Children's Wish Foundation
• This donation is funded entirely by the summer program
• Teams who enter the summer league are asked to donate $100 to the
charity. About 60% of teams contribute
• Referees are also asked to donate $20 from a game fee. 100% contribute
• Additional revenue (<10%) is made up from other programs in the
summer program
• Total raised so far
• 2006 $7,274
• 2007 $7,510
Problems with current situation
• No one from the NCISL is managing the relationship consequently it is not
getting enough focus
• Not all Summer teams contribute
• The teams playing in the Fall and Spring seasons do not contribute
• Promotion of the program could be better
Proposed Solution
• Create a formal charity partnership for all 3 programs
• Summer – Children's Wish Foundation
• Fall –
Snowsuit Fund
• Spring – To be determined
• Make the donations mandatory for teams as part of their entry fee
• Summer $100 per team
• Fall & Spring $70 per team
• Assign an NCISL person to manage each relationship and make
recommendations to the BoD on how any additional fundraising will be
done
Minimum contributions if approved

EODSA / NCISL Dispute
February 2008
Background
• At the 2007 AGM we decided to allow open teams to join the NCISL
• The EODSA objected to this and refused our membership application
• The NCISL fought this and won the dispute after it was escalated to the
OSA
• This permits us to offer programs for open teams when we wish to do so
• Outdoor Women’s divisions and Men’s open division
• All indoor divisions
2007 Presidents Report

2007 Program Reports
February 2008
Membership & Registration
• The Board of Directors is looking to take a more active role in its members
• This will initially involve reviewing registration metrics and trends
• The Board of Directors would then take this data and use it towards the
best interests of the members (eg locations for new fields)
• Without its members, there would be no NCISL
