Community sports clubs are forever undertaking fundraising activities, continually seeking new and preferably easy ways to raise funds. Few clubs realise that many fundraising activities, such as raffles or even footy tipping, may require permits, follow specific procedures and even undertake reporting specific to a given fundraising activity.
