Creating Positive Auspicing Relationships

About this training session

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 groups to access funding, insurance and other resources to achieve a project without incorporating or getting deductible gift recipient (DGR) status.  

Our training gives you a quick and comprehensive overview of how auspicing works and what you need to know to be confident that your auspicing arrangement will work to benefit everyone. We look at auspicing from the point of view of both auspicor and auspicee, so that everyone understands their role and responsibilities and what to expect from others involved. 

You'll learn about:

• What auspicing is, and when to consider it
• What does an auspicing agreement look like
• Pros and cons for the auspicor and auspicee
• Key considerations for both parties of an auspicing arrangement
• What to do if things go wrong
• Top tips and additional resources for the future
