A couple of points came out while I was speaking with AGLC that whould be considered. Don't let this stop the speculation though - these points only apply to money from AGLC Licensed funds. We might use non-AGLC funds to finance the other things...
1) We cannot request funds for the specific purpose of donating it to another charitable group. We may consider donating to groups that request funds from us, but we cannot ask for cash with the explicit purpose of donating it to another group. If these groups are considered qualified to receive such a donation, they are encouraged to request their own AGLC license. 2) Any cash from an AGLC license cannot benefit a specific individual. I.e. We cannot write a cheque to a person, but we can write a cheque to an organization. A scholorship/educational type fund may be a little grey here - while we can write the cheque to the school, a single person is benefiting from the cash. So, we'd have to seek approval for this (there are guidlines for this type of thing though...) 3) AGLC funds cannot be used to start a "new" program. The funds are meant to be used for existing programs. There's sufficient grey area on this requirement (for me at least), that I'm not sure if this is written in stone. This would imply that we cannot use the funds to *start* an endowment fund (scholorships, bursuries, etc.). But we could use the funds to contribute to an existing endowment fund (if we had one for some period of time before requesting the cash be used for this purpose...) Of course, there are exceptions to almost everything. But to get approval for just about anything takes about 4 weeks (unless it was approved on the original application, which can take 8 weeks to get approved). I know that my descriptions above are not overly clear, and may seem very restrictive. From what I've learned thus far, I don't think the restrictions are that great, and do leave us plenty of room to operate within. The final authority is the AGLC though. If you want to learn more, check out their website - they have lots of info there (http://www.aglc.gov.ab.ca). Just some thoughts Shawn On Saturday 23 July 2005 08:40, Aaron J.
