Grant funding often requires that a recipient is incorporated, is a tax concession charity or has DGR endorsement, and the group or person seeking the assistance may not be able to satisfy those characteristics in the time available.  

  • ensure they are satisfied that the project or activities for which the funding is sought for the auspicee furthers the mission of the auspicor organisation in some way, and 
  • check its constituent documents (ie. constitution, rules, by-laws) to ensure that entering into the auspicing agreement is consistent with the objects and powers of the organisation
