Creating Positive Auspicing Relationships - Sep 2026

About this event

Auspicing is becoming more common as communities need to quickly mobilise to respond to natural disasters. Whether or not you’re dealing with an emergency, auspicing can be a way for community groups to access funding, insurance and other resources to achieve a project without incorporating or getting deductible gift recipient (DGR) status - but it's important to understand the legal implications and responsibilities of all the parties.  

Whether you’re thinking about entering an auspicing arrangement with another group or wanting to make sure you’re getting the most out of your current auspicing relationship, this webinar is for you.
