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
