Policy

As partners, Charitable Organizations are required to promote the centre and participate in initiatives developed by the CGCA (the St Thomas Gaming Association) to the best of their ability. In order to foster growth and support the gaming centre and the CGCA, Charitable Organizations must participate by promoting the gaming centre. Organizations that actively promote their partnership with cGaming will be compensated for their participation efforts based on the standards below.

Standards

1. Charitable Organizations are required to participate in all charity awareness initiatives directed by the OCGA.
2. Charitable Organizations can also earn additional funds for promoting charity awareness participation within their local community or on social media. Charitable Organizations will receive ¼ share of proceeds in a given month up to a maximum of 6 times per fiscal year each time they execute one of the following initiatives. Organizations are required to provide information on their promotional activities directly to the CGCA to be eligible. Where possible, these must provide a local impact in the same community as the charitable gaming centre. Additional proceeds are only earned for each unique initiative each year (e.g. posting a static centre logo on a website counts once for the year).
3. Eligible Participation/Promotional Activities:

• • Host an off-site cheque presentation with the CGCA (their AGM, event, etc.)
  • Attend or host a photo-op/cheque presentation/media event at the Charitable Gaming Centre.

BREAKDOWN FOR CHARITIES

Charities can now earn an extra ¼ share for promoting charitable gaming and our stakeholders (Jackpot Time or OCGA and their Charitable Gaming Community Good campaign).  There are up to six ¼ shares available, that will be paid to charities throughout the fiscal year, beginning April 1^st and ending on March 31^st.  Charities receive ¼ share payouts on the monthly distributions.  In gaming centre promotions (poster, brochure, slide show photos) are required and do not earn ¼ share. Submissions should not come from just one promotional category; charities should be looking at multiple activities to widen community reach.  Charities are required to submit proof of promotion by sending photo, or screenshot to the charity coordinator email.   All questions about this program should be sent to the charity coordinator.
