BC Council prefers using the CRA rates to reimburse mileage as a baseline, however, areas and districts may set mileage rates at their discretion.

To request fundraising approval (outside GGC cookie campaigns) use:
All FR.1s are to be sent to bc-fr1@girlguides.ca for review and approval.
This includes any required paperwork like budgets, signed and approved SG.8s and any details to support your fundraising activities. We would like to further ask that when Guiders submit their FR.1’s, to indicate the trip or unit / District / Area in the "who is requesting approval" section to make it easier to forward to the appropriate Area Approver.
FR.1s will then be forwarded to the appropriate Area Fundraising Approver for review and approval. The Area Fundraising Approvers will return the FR.1s to the Unit/Trip Guider and to the FR.1 Coordinator. Those FR.1s requiring PC and/or National approval will be sent by the FR.1 Coordinator directly to them. The approved FR.1 forms will be saved centrally for easy reference and recordkeeping.
If fundraising for travel, the trip needs pre-authorization by an Assessor before fundraising approval can be given. Use the Travel Pre-authorization – SG.8 (Member Zone) to request approval.
Important: All fundraising, which is not solely from cookie sales and which totals $5,000 or more, must be approved at the area level. Frequency and method of reporting to the area will be determined by the area.
