Event Clearance

If an event is to be held on or off campus and part of the participation fee will be tax receipted as a donation in support of a McMaster University activity, then an approval process must be followed.

The first level of approval will come from a Dean or Vice-President who acknowledges an awareness of the event and supports its activities and purpose.

The second level of approval will come the Prospect Clearance Committee. This Committee will review who will be solicited to ensure that participants or sponsors are not actively been approached for other projects.

The third level of approval comes from the Associate Director, Annual Giving. This approval will be provided as long as the participants and sponsors are not actively included in current Annual Fund solicitations.

The final approval will come from the Donations Coordinator. This approval will be granted provided all of the activities of the event do not conflict with Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) regulations, University policies and University Advancement guidelines.
