Purpose of the Legacy Fund
The purpose of the fund is to provide support to NSC Members who wish to participate in exceptional sailing/boating activities which might include:
- regional, national and international competitions,
- training events,
- sail training at NSC to new sailors who may otherwise not be able to afford to participate, and
- other exceptional sailing/boating activities, both competitive and non-competitive.
Origin
In 2004, the Nepean Sailing Club established the “25 Legacy Reserve” to commemorate the 25th Anniversary of the Club to assist individuals and teams interested in pursuing training and competitive opportunities in sailing. The fund is now known as the “NSC Legacy Fund”.
Intended Recipients
Although the primary recipients of the Fund are members of the Nepean Sailing Club, there may be exceptional circumstances in which sailors from outside the club can be assisted.
The Committee
The NSC Legacy Fund Committee is responsible for reviewing applications, awarding grants to eligible candidates, and initiating projects to replenish the fund. The Committee’s decisions on awards are final. The Committee is comprised of the Commodore, Treasurer and Public Relations Director.
Funding
The NSC Legacy Fund is supported by donations and fundraising activities and voluntary member donations, including the Winter Speaker Series.
Applications
There will be several application windows each year and will be promoted on the NSC Website and Social Media.
