Auspicing is an increasingly important tool for community groups, especially when quick mobilisation is needed to respond to natural disasters or other urgent projects. This workshop offers a clear and practical introduction to auspicing, helping you understand how to navigate this arrangement confidently and successfully.
You will gain a comprehensive overview of what auspicing is and when it is appropriate to consider it. The session covers the roles and responsibilities of both the auspicor and auspicee, ensuring everyone involved understands their part. Delivered by a lawyer specialising in charity and not-for-profit law, the workshop uses easy-to-understand language to demystify the process.
The workshop will cover key topics including:
- What auspicing is and when to use it
- The structure of an auspicing agreement
- Pros and cons for both parties
- Important considerations to ensure a successful partnership
- How to handle issues if things go wrong
- Top tips and additional resources for future reference
