SPONSORSHIP AND FUNDRAISING

How much does a sponsor cost?

What is the team limit for sponsorship?

Can I fundraise for my team?

Page 87: The Coaches Survival Handbook

TEAM SPONSORSHIP• Prior to soliciting team sponsors, the coach

or manager must review the current sponsorship lists with the Club Administrator

This will help to alleviate the same company being approached numerous times to sponsor a team. In order to keep these lists accurate,

each team must submit a list of all their sponsors names and addresses, regardless of

the amount sponsored, to the Club Administrator or Director of Fundraising

Page 88: The Coaches Survival Handbook

TEAM SPONSORSHIP

• Due to the increased costs associated with a competitive team (average team cost is $471.67 per sponsor), the current suggested sponsorship amount is $600 per sponsor with a team sponsorship limit of $2000

• Sponsorships above and beyond the maximum limit of $2000.00 will require approval from the board and will generally only be accepted under special circumstances

Page 89: The Coaches Survival Handbook

TEAM SPONSORSHIP

• A reasonable limit is required due to the limited number of sponsors and the need for sponsors by all teams within the Club. Major sponsors ($500 to $600) will have their company logos displayed on a banner or the front of the team jerseys

Page 90: The Coaches Survival Handbook

TEAM SPONSORSHIP

• All sponsors, major and minor, will be recognized through the club’s website, along with a link to their website

• It is also the team’s responsibility to provide funds for the “sponsor appreciation” plaque as a thank you to these sponsors.

Page 91: The Coaches Survival Handbook

TEAM SPONSORSHIP

• All sponsorship cheques are to be made out to the “Cataraqui Clipper’s Soccer Club” and then the funds will be dispersed to the team by the Club’s Treasurer. There are two main reasons for this, the first is sponsors will want to receive a receipt as a business expense deduction and secondly the Club is responsible to the sponsor for their donations

Page 92: The Coaches Survival Handbook

TEAM SPONSORSHIP

• As well, the sponsorship donations are required to appear on the Club’s financial statements as part of our audited revenue.

• Any individual or company wishing to donate to a team may do so. However, they will not receive the benefits and/or advertising as a sponsor.

Page 93: The Coaches Survival Handbook

TEAM SPONSORSHIP

• All logos must reflect the club values and those of the Ontario Soccer Association. (OSA)

Page 94: The Coaches Survival Handbook

FUNDRAISING

As a coach or manager you are responsible for the proper management of funds generated through sponsorships, player/parent contributions, donations and any other fundraising activities your team chooses to engage in. However, teams must remember that first and foremost they are part of the Cataraqui Clipper’s Soccer Club and without the Club there would be no teams.

Page 95: The Coaches Survival Handbook

FUNDRAISING

•  Prior to any team fundraising activities, the club’s Administrator must be notified by the team coach or manager a minimum of fourteen (14) days in advance of commencing their fundraiser

• The funds raised and/or donated can benefit the team in a number of ways. (i.e. training camps, practise wear, extraordinary travel expenses, equipment, etc.)

Page 96: The Coaches Survival Handbook

FUNDRAISING

• By giving this notice, it will help alleviate the possibility of a number of teams doing the same fundraiser at the same time, that it meets the criteria appropriateness of the club, that it is legal, and allows time to complete any documentation and/or applications if required.

Page 97: The Coaches Survival Handbook

FUNDRAISING

• If a team wishes to do a raffle/lottery/bingo/50-50 etc. as a fundraiser, they must contact the Director of Fundraising for more information

• The City of Kingston oversees all raffle/lottery/bingo/50-50 etc. under the “OLGC” policy, which must be strictly followed.

Page 98: The Coaches Survival Handbook

FUNDRAISING

• Any teams wanting to do international travel, with the approval of the board, may want to coordinate their fund raising activities with the Director of Fundraising. This will help in developing fund raising plans, ideas and support.

•  Any team failing to comply with these policies, could result in the coach being suspended from the team.

Page 99: The Coaches Survival Handbook

TEAM FINANCIALS

Can I open a bank account?

Do I keep records?

How do I deal with leftover money in the team bank account at the end of the season?

How do I prepare a bank statement for the club?

Page 100: The Coaches Survival Handbook

FINANCIAL STATEMENT

• Although not mandatory it is RECOMMENDED that a team bank account is established and all transactions take place through the team account

Page 101: The Coaches Survival Handbook

FINANCIAL STATEMENT

• Every competitive team or any other team that raises funds must submit a financial statement at the end of their soccer season or September 30 at the latest to Eileen
