Donations policy

• Acknowledgment of your donation: Following your donation an acknowledgement and receipt will be sent to the email address provided. This will be sent out as soon as possible after the donation but may take up to five business days.
• Acceptance of donations: The NZ Game Animal Council (the Council) is an independent statutory body that must be seen to be impartial. An important consideration in the acceptance of donations or gifts is that the Council ensures it does not place itself under any actual or perceived obligation that might hinder it performing its statutory functions in a balanced and unbiased way. Donations or gifts are considered as revenue of the Council and do not create a financial liability owed to the donors. The Council does not agree to any implicit conditions and has no obligations to reward donors in any way and no obligation to publicly acknowledge such donations. If no initiative is specified at the time of the donation, then funds will be used as general revenue of the Council, to carry out activities that support improved hunting and game animal management in New Zealand. No personal information will be shared about the donor with any third party other than Council staff involved in the receipt and distribution of donations.
• Refunds: Refunds of donations, or decisions to reject a donation, will be at the discretion of the Council.
