Re: Corporate or other Grants

First, I have to reiterate... before a unit approaches any corporate entity
to apply for grants first CHECK WITH YOUR COUNCIL. Not only are there
byzantine rules covering this, you will also step on your DE's and council's
feet (BIG TIME!) should it later come to light that the company's FOS
donation was reduced because of their gift to your unit.

In my former unit we had two companies that through employee benefits
similar to what Ed Darrell described make substantial donations to our
troop.

Roche Biomedical will give $1000 to Scouting units their employees
volunteer with subject to an time requirement and that their child NOT be in
the unit.

AT&T will also donate money to units, where, I believe, four or more
employees donate time.

In both cases, the money went to the troop, not the council. Although, I
suspect they may have violated the warning of my first paragraph by not
letting the DE know of this source of funds.
