1. Funding a Bears Of Hope cuddle cot to be donated within Australia costs $6000. This includes the unit, the moses bassinet and linen, embroidery and plaque displaying “donated in memory of (your baby’s name)” postage, transport and administrative costs. Any remaining funds will go to the general objectives of our organisation.

 

2. Cuddle Cots will be donated to hospitals in need across Australia. There are no guarantees that your hospital of choice will require one once you reach your goal. 

 

3. To ensure hospitals are not overwhelmed by multiple fundraising families making contact, it is requested that you wait until your fundraiser is complete before reaching out to see if they require one. You are not to confirm with a hospital at the beginning of, or during, your fundraiser as there is no assurance that the goal will be reached, or the time that it will be reached in, and it's important that a hospital can accept a cuddle cot donation that is ready, without having to wait unnecessarily. We can also reach out to the hospital on your behalf if preferrable.

 

4. It is important that there is no reference made on your fundraising page that you will be donating the cuddle cot to a specific hospital, so you do not mislead your donors in the instance that your cuddle cot is donated to a different hospital. The Bears Of Hope Team will edit your page if required.

 

5. The target amount may change in line with supplier costs.

 

6. If full funds are not reached by the end date, if there are extra funds raised or if the page is closed down prior to the end date, those funds will be distributed to the general objectives of the organisation.

 

7. If requested within 30 days of your page closing, we can allocate any extra funds raised over the $6000, towards the donation of bears. For every $100 you raised over, a bear of hope will be donated in memory of your baby (up to a maximum of  5 bears). The remaining funds will be transferred to the general objectives of Bears Of Hope.

 

8. If you wish to raise funds offline in addition to your online fundraiser (e.g. raffles, coin boxes, auction), you will need to gain authority and approval from Bears Of Hope. Please register your community fundraiser and once approved, you will be issued an Authority To Fundraise letter including your Fundraising Reference Number. 

 

9. Bears of Hope has the right to update these Terms and Conditions and will email changes to all fundraisers in this instance.
