explaining spotlight donations

The subject of spotlight donations is always confusing for organisers. It seems to be that subject where the answers aren't clear. So let us clarify it for you!

 

1. Are we required to send 10% of our donations to a spotlight charity?

No, Your donations can go to any local organization that works to prevent violence against women. It's only recommended that 10% of your ticket sales be sent to a charity that focuses on the spotlight issue of the year, but it's not a requirement.

 

2. Do we have to send all our donations to a charity that relates to the spotlight?

No, your donations can go to any local organization of your choice. If you choose to send donations to a charity that has a focus related to the spotlight, than it's recommended that you send 10% of your ticket sales.

 

3. Help! I can't find a local charity that relates to the spotlight this year!
