GBR recognises the importance of supporting charitable causes, community initiatives, and organisations that contribute positively to society. All charitable giving and donations undertaken by GBR should reflect the organisation’s values of integrity, compassion, stewardship, accountability, and responsible service.
The purpose of this policy is to establish clear principles for receiving, approving, managing, and distributing charitable donations and contributions associated with GBR.
The policy seeks to ensure that donations are handled responsibly, transparently, and for their intended purpose.
GBR may accept donations from members, individuals, businesses, organisations, partners, and other lawful sources where the donation is consistent with GBR’s values and objectives.
GBR reserves the right to decline or return a donation where:
Donations should be used for the purpose for which they were given where a specific purpose has been agreed.
Where a donation is unrestricted, GBR may determine how the funds or resources can best support its programmes, activities, charitable initiatives, or organisational objectives.
Donations must not be used for personal benefit, unauthorised expenses, or purposes unrelated to the approved objectives of GBR.
Charitable giving and significant donations made on behalf of GBR must receive appropriate approval from authorised GBR leadership.
All financial donations should be properly recorded and handled through approved GBR financial processes. Appropriate records should be maintained to support transparency, accountability, and financial reporting.
GBR will treat donor information with appropriate confidentiality and will only disclose personal or organisational information where authorised, required by law, or necessary for legitimate administrative or reporting purposes.
Where appropriate, GBR may acknowledge donors or sponsors publicly, subject to their consent and GBR’s communication standards.
Members, volunteers, and representatives involved in charitable giving or donation decisions must disclose any actual or potential conflict of interest.
No individual may use their position within GBR to obtain personal financial benefit, preferential treatment, or an improper advantage from a donation or charitable arrangement.
GBR is committed to managing charitable contributions responsibly and ensuring that resources are directed toward legitimate and appropriate purposes.
Where donations are provided to external organisations or community initiatives, reasonable due diligence may be undertaken to confirm the legitimacy and intended use of the contribution.
Through responsible charitable giving, GBR seeks to support initiatives that promote compassion, community development, dignity, opportunity, and positive social impact.
All members, volunteers, and representatives involved in charitable activities are expected to uphold the highest standards of integrity, accountability, transparency, and responsible stewardship.
