KM Community Treasure Chest
How the Community Treasure Chest operates
- Organisations and individuals apply to the Community Treasure
Chest by filling in the form here for a prize to support a
charity fund-raising raffle or auction.
- Requests are considered in the first week of each month and the
deadline to apply is the 27th of the month (21st in December), so
don't leave it too late to apply.
Applicant agrees to highlight the donation in the
following ways:
- Add an advert to a newsletter promoting the activity or event.
Advert artwork will be supplied to you with offer letter or can be
downloaded from this website.
- Add the KM Community Treasure Chest logo to your posters.
- Add the Kent Messenger logo and logo of attraction providing
the prize to your organisation's website, if you have one, with a
link to KentOnline site and website of attraction for 12
months.
- Your prize will be posted to you prior to the event so it can
be presented as you require.
After the event the applicant must:
- Send the KM Community and Charity department four copies of any
newsletters promoting the event that included the Community
Treasure Chest promotional advert.
- Return a completed KM event feedback form to let us know how
your event went and how much was raised.
- Information must be sent to: KM Community and Charity
department, Gazette House, 5-8 Estuary View Business Park, Boorman
Way, Whitstable, Kent CT5 3SE to arrive within 21 days of
event.
Criteria
- Individuals, community groups and registered charities with a
strong connection to Kent (including Bexley, Bromley and Medway)
may apply for a Treasure Chest prize.
- Registered charities must include the charity number of the
organisation. Community groups that are not registered charities
must include the contact details of the group's chairman so we can
verify the application.
- Individuals are welcome to apply but must include details of a
personal or employer's reference who can verify the nature of the
fund-raising activity and reputation of the individual.
- Although it is important where possible that applicants can
demonstrate how they can highlight the donation through event
publicity, applications will also be positively considered from
worthy causes that are not in a position to promote the Treasure
Chest initiative. This may be applicable to applications from
individuals rather than groups.
- Applicants to the KM Community Treasure Chest must confirm the
event or funds raised through it will not be used to promote
political or racist activities.
