The MBA may accept gifts or donations from individuals or business entities provided that such gift or donation does not:
 

• Come with any “strings attached”, requiring responsive action from MBA.  If a gift or donation is received with a requirement that such funds be used for a specific purpose, the board should review such requirement and determine if the requirement conflicts with the MBA principles and mission.  If the requirement is deemed to be inconsistent with the MBA principles and/or mission, such gift or donation should be declined.
• Influence decision-making by MBA or any board member
• Require that such gift be used for purposes not in line with the MBA mission
• The board may elect to recognize a gift or donation with minor advertising or recognition, provided that such gift or donation follows the above guidelines. For example, if a business donates food for one of our tournaments, a sign recognizing such donation can be posted at the tournament.

From time to time, MBA may engage on fundraising activities. Any fund raising activity will be approved in advance by the Board.  As with other policies, the activities will congruent with the MBA principles and mission.  In addition, any fund raising activity will not invite any undue influence.
