SPONSORHIP

1. Sponsorship money that is raised must incorporate GST. The amount you raise will have GST deducted and therefore impact on the money your team is allocated. Businesses that sponsor a team should be able to claim the GST portion of their sponsorship back on their tax.
2. Generally, businesses will only donate If they can acquire a tax benefit and they need our club to do that, the club is accountable for the money and the issuing of a tax receipt. Teams need to consider before they seek sponsorship that 10% of the finance raised for their team will go directly to the club for future junior development and equipment.
3. The club has the right to determine where money can be spent. ICFC has an obligation to administer money in a responsible manner that reflects the values of our club and community. With this in mind, we provide the following guidelines for how team sponsorship can be utilised.
   1. Training Shirts; teams can use funds to purchase training shirts for their players. The shirts can display the sponsors' logo on the front or sleeves. Ensure you have accounted for the cost of patches or printing in the cost of your shirts. To enhance you chances of a successful sponsorship, let the sponsor know that the players will not just be wearing their shirts to training but also whenever they go shopping with their family around Ipswich,
   2. Polo shirts for coaching staff or other club clothing; Any supporter products that the club has available can be purchased for teams. This Includes caps, jackets and shirts. Sponsors logos may be placed on items. If the club does not have jackets available, the club can be approached to organise a special order from our sponsors Struddies,
   3. Specialised Coaching: Sometimes opportunities become available to utilise highly accredited coaches from both inside and outside of the club. If you know of someone who you would like to come and run a session for your team, then funds can be released from your sponsorship to cover their costs. Invited coaches must have approval from ICFC and have a current Blue Card and Coaching license,
   4. Team Break-ups; End of year break-ups are an approved expenditure for sponsorship money. Finances can contribute towards admission to perks, hire costs, food and beverages. Alcohol and other products which are inappropriate for juniors and prohibited by law are not acceptable expenditure. Valid tax invoices and receipts will need to be provided for all expenditure that used for break-ups,
   5. Any sponsorship finances that are not fully expended by October 31 will be transferred from the team into junior development and equipment. It Is the responsibility of the team manager to ensure that the team requirements for sponsorship finances are utilised by this date.

ICFC encourages all teams to seek sponsorship from the various business contacts in their team. It Is our desire to see all players have the best season they can without their families being burdened with extra cost.

Sponsorship helps this to happen.

We look forward to your team's sponsorship endeavours and wish you all the best in the coming season.
