Proposal for a Charity Program February 2008

Current situation NCISL has a relationship with the Children's Wish Foundation This donation is funded entirely by the summer program Teams who enter the summer league are asked to donate $100 to the charity. About 60% of teams contribute Referees are also asked to donate $20 from a game fee. 100% contribute Additional revenue (<10%) is made up from other programs in the summer program Total raised so far 2006 $7, $7,510

Problems with current situation No one from the NCISL is managing the relationship consequently it is not getting enough focus Not all Summer teams contribute The teams playing in the Fall and Spring seasons do not contribute Promotion of the program could be better

Proposed Solution Create a formal charity partnership for all 3 programs Summer – Children's Wish Foundation Fall – Snowsuit Fund Spring – To be determined Make the donations mandatory for teams as part of their entry fee Summer $100 per team Fall & Spring $70 per team Assign an NCISL person to manage each relationship and make recommendations to the BoD on how any additional fundraising will be done

Minimum contributions if approved

Referee Complaints In 2007 we had received 16 complaints concerning Referees. The majority of the complaints concerned law issues. In many of the cases, the Law in question needed to be clarified and explained to the person making the complaint Other complaints received dealt with the Referees attitude, communication skills and physical abilities. In 2006, I received 21 Referee complaints. Any incidents requiring Referee discipline, was sent to the EODSA for further action.
