This documentation of income and expenses (associated with the fundraising event) must then be presented to Life Ed Victoria.
- Funds must be remitted to Life Ed Victoria within 4 weeks of your fundraising event. Once funds raised have been remitted, Life Ed Victoria will issue a receipt in the name of the activity/event.
- The Fundraiser must take all reasonable steps to ensure that the expenses do not exceed 40% of gross proceeds or a lower percentage as required by law and they must keep records of income and expenditure
