THE BIG GIVE AGREEMENT
This sub- page is an overview of guidelines for Australian churches who want to participate in The Big Give Australia this year.

Church Agreement
1) Annually host your Big Give day, last Saturday of November
In order for your church/ministry to partner with The Big Give and be listed on our website you must host your Big Give event on the last Saturday of November. This joint initiative creates awareness and engagement on a national scale. It also generates a sense of real community between all our partnering churches.
2) All goods and services are free
The Big Give’s mission is to share the unconditional love of God through radical generosity with no strings attached and asking nothing in return (no donations, sign-up sheets, promotions etc.) While your church is likely involved with many great causes, we ask that you keep the integrity and purity of The Big Give intact. This means no fundraising, ministry/charitable organization promotion, human resource recruitment or sale of any items.
3) Pure Motives
The Big Give’s purpose is to draw our guests attention to God’s love for them. Our events are not environments for preaching, teaching or judging. If our guests have faith questions we encourage our volunteers to respond based on biblical principles and only obtain contact information if offered by the guest. We also encourage our participating churches to have a designated prayer area and tables offering free Bibles. Our Big Give events are first and foremost environments for showing God’s love through practical and tangible acts of kindness and generosity.
4) You take the appropriate legal
precautions
Your partnership with The Big Give means that any indemnification that your insurance company may require will be your responsibility. The Big Give, Legana FRC or any third parties mentioned on The Big Give website are not liable for any damages including but not limited to accidental, consequential damages or personal injury resulting from any activities associated with The Big Give.
5) Everyone's privacy and dignity is respected
While we encourage you to take pictures and video of your Big Give event, we ask that you obtain permission of anyone appearing in media you plan to use in a public or social media forum.
6) Registration
donations
2023 being our inaugural year, we have left the registration fee optional. If your church does decide, however, that you wish to make a financial contribution, what does your registration donation go towards?
As with any ministry, The Big Give Australia cannot exist without some funding. Registration is our only method of being able to pay for our expenses which include communication updates to the website, event banners, promo videos, resource updates, travel and promotional material. We also pay administration fees for website hosting and improvements and provide human resources to handle important communication with our church partners.
In addition, a small number of churches cannot afford the registration donation so we try to facilitate their partnership. Simply stated - without your registration donation The Big Give would not exist.
7) Agreement to the Apostle's Creed.
Churches wanting to host the Big Give on their premises must agree to the Apostle's Creed, a statement of Christian belief. See the tab under "About" to read this creed.
