Funding and Financial Excellence<br />
Aim: To develop sound financial structures leading to financial Excellence at club and county level.<br />
Introduction:<br />
As we continue to grow and develop the <strong>GAA</strong> in <strong>Meath</strong>, we need to ensure that there is sufficient finance in<br />
place to achieve our goals and our aims. In the harsh economic times in which we live, we cannot overstate<br />
the need to achieve value for money in all we do and we cannot underestimate the challenge that exists for<br />
our clubs and for the county in raising finance. We are fortunate to have a general public and sponsors in<br />
<strong>Meath</strong> that continues to financially support our clubs and the county. We will continue to work closely with<br />
our sponsors and will continue to put the best financial management practices in place in the county.<br />
Key Projects:<br />
Promote Club and County Attendances:<br />
We will develop a strategy to help promote attendances at club games in the county and at our inter-county<br />
games. This will include advertising on radio and media, highlighting local fixtures in National Schools,<br />
arranging underage mini games during half time in adult fixtures and encouraging local clubs to promote<br />
games on their websites.<br />
Marketing Plan:<br />
We will develop a marketing plan to help promote the Association in the county. This will incorporate the<br />
provincial marketing plans at County Level. We will investigate all possible sources of revenue in relation to<br />
sponsorship of teams and competitions as well as various fundraising projects.<br />
Supporters Club (Club na Mí):<br />
We will maintain and enhance a relationship with Club na Mí which will have as its aims the promotion of<br />
support for Cumann Lúthchleas Gael in the county.<br />
Club Credit Card Scheme:<br />
We will roll out a club credit card scheme that will help raise funds for clubs. This scheme will facilitate the<br />
payment of affiliations, membership, insurance and tickets.<br />
Annual budget<br />
We will develop a budget that covers all activity under the control of the County Committee. This budget will be<br />
strictly adhered to.<br />
