I am on a friends of committee for a performing arts school I have only just recently taken on the role that I have. The freinds of committe are financing a production so that it is inclusive of all the performers at the dance school regardless of their ability, age etc It is not for profit it is so that our performers have an opportunity to entertain the local community. Any funds raised go straight back into the freinds of pot where we purchase costumes to ease the burden on parents, have childrens parties, theatre trips et, etc, etc. and again have the backing funds to finance the annual show.

I am not clear where we stand in a situation where a sports club donate a kit on laon to us for a number in the show a free ad has been offered by a non member of the committee in the programme for the show(this is not normally offered to other donating orgs) I would prefer they have a special mention in the acknowledgement section like all our other donating organisation as other organisations pay to have an ad.
Some think it is an opportunity to hire the kits to the performers in that number and use the money raised from that to advertise the sports club. This doesn't rest well with me as I feel if it is a free donation loan then surely the kits should be FOC to the pefomers although if they would like to donate a little something for the use we would be more than grate ful.
Not sure where we would stand legally on this, I hope I have explained this so that it is understandable. can you advise?
