Sporting clubs and schools constantly need funding to provide
facilities and usually rely on volunteers providing substantial
amounts of their time in fundraising programmes as an adjunct to
sponsorship. This, with increasing demands on volunteer ‘Not
for Profit’ organisations, results in volunteer burn-out.
It is becoming increasingly hard to find volunteers, and those
that do volunteer are doing more and more while the costs of
running a sporting club or school continue to increase.
Business Plaza provides a source of regular revenue for
community groups without requiring the current committee members
and volunteers to do more.
Business Plaza develops and manages all aspects of the Business
Plaza, and is responsible for all associated costs. Community
based organizations that qualify for a Business Plaza receive
income as a percentage of all advertising charged and a percentage
of commissions from certain advertisers.
In addition, members of each participating community receive
bonuses or discounts when purchasing products or services from many
advertisers in the Business Plaza, a substantial benefit seen as
being provided by the sporting club or school to their members.
