Partner Applications
Becoming a partner charity
Thank you for your interest in becoming a partner charity with Sports Charity Scotland.
Sports Charity Scotland partners with one or two charities each year to organise a fundraising dinner. Next year’s dinner will be held on 7th February, 2025.
As you may be aware, the Trustees are keen to support charities whose purposes include: –
- the prevention or relief of poverty.
- the advancement of citizenship or community development.
- the advancement of public participation in sport; and
- the relief of those in need by reason of age, ill-health, disability, financial hardship or other disadvantage.
If your charity’s purposes fall within one or more of these areas, your charity may be a good fit as a partner charity.
Sports Charity Scotland would expect a partner charity to: –
- raise awareness for the dinner through their own networks and social media, and encouraging table sales.
- assist with the procurement of speakers at the dinner.
- provide two main auction lots (valued at £750 or more).
- provide ten silent auction lots (valued between £100-£750).
- provide five prize draw items (valued under £100); and
- purchase at least one table at the dinner.
A proportion of the net proceeds raised on the night would be donated to the partner charity.
The net proceeds will depend on funds raised on the night and the proportion will depend on the number of partner charities and is at the discretion of Sports Charity Scotland. We will also promote partner charities throughout the evening, including a feature in our brochure and a section of the evening dedicated to showcasing the work of your charity, including promotional videos or similar.
If you would be interested in becoming a partner charity, please download and complete the form below and return it to info@sportscharityscotland.com.
Applications are reviewed annually by the Trustees, usually in June so that the partner charity relationship is in place by August/September. Applications should be made in writing and on no more than two sides of A4 using the form below. There is no need to provide a copy of your annual accounts unless they are not available online.
Please return the completed application by 5pm on the 12th of June, 2024.
