FUNDING PROCESS

For all regional events, it is necessary to complete
a funding form to outline what funding your event
needs and how this is being covered. It is important
for the management team to understand who is
supporting your region and assists us with forecast
budgets. This is a requirement even if no money
goes through Dairy Women’s Network.

If a partner or other organisation wants
to contribute funding towards your
event:
The easiest funding process for all to manage is to
get agreement from partners/sponsors of your event
to pick up a specific cost so that the invoice goes
straight to them from either the caterer, the venue,
the presenter or anything else that has a direct cost.

However, this is not always practical, and may
require the funds to be collected by the office
and costs offset against this pooled funding. This
requires the office to invoice the organisations
providing you with sponsorship so that money is
accounted for correctly.

What you need to do:
1. Provide this information on the Funding Form
– this should be completed as early as possible
and can be updated as more sponsors and new
information needs to be added
