The Chief Minister’s Charitable Fund priorities were subsequently determined by their independent board following a process of consultation by Hands Across Canberra. The ACT Government did not conduct this consultation.
(6) As Hands Across Canberra conducted this consultation, the ACT Government does not have this information.
(7) (a) The ACT Government has not provided any promotion or visibility material to grant recipients for use.
(b) Hands Across Canberra have provided two speaking opportunities in relation to the Chief Minister’s Charitable Fund Grants Program.
The first was at an event announcing the launch of the inaugural Chief Minister’s Charitable Fund grant round on 3 April 2019. This event was hosted by the YWCA and I spoke briefly alongside the Chair of Hands Across Canberra and the CEO of YWCA.
The second was at an event announcing the successful Chief Minister’s Charitable Fund grant recipients on 3 July 2019. This event was hosted by Mental Illness Education ACT and I spoke briefly alongside the Chair of Hands Across Canberra and the CEO of Mental Illness Education ACT.
(c) No. The visibility requirements specifically mention “the Chief Minister’s Charitable Fund” and not the Chief Minister.
(d) I understand that agreements between grant recipients and Hands Across Canberra provide that no budget is to be used separately for visibility activities (such as advertising) and that visibility is only for the purpose of public recognition and only where appropriate.
(e) I understand that agreements between grant recipients and Hands Across Canberra provide that organisations ‘acknowledge where possible and appropriate the support of Hands Across Canberra and the Chief Minister’s Charitable Fund’.
(8) Yes.
(a) The Chief Minister’s name and two photos which included the Chief Minister (amongst grant recipients and with the Chair of the Chief Minister’s Charitable Fund) were used in the following circumstances:
• Two Facebook posts regarding the launching of the Chief Minister’s Charitable Fund grant round and the announcement of successful Chief Minister’s Charitable Fund grant recipients, a link to the press release regarding the two events published on the Hands Across Canberra website.
• The Chief Minister’s Facebook page was linked on one post which states: “This morning Andrew Barr ACT Chief Minister (linked) and the Hands Across Canberra Chair Diane Kargas Bray announced the results of the first ever Chief Minister’s Charitable Fund grant round…”
(b) On the Hands Across Canberra Facebook page, the Hands Across Canberra website and Chief Minister’s Charitable Fund’s website.
