IFI Sponsorship Programme

Sponsorship Programme 2023

Inland Fisheries Ireland (IFI) may, at its discretion and depending on the availability of resources, provide support to groups, associations, clubs or other appropriate bodies to assist with Events which meet the aims of the IFI Sponsorship Programme.

Proposed eligible events and categories for 2023 are as follows (in order of priority):

  • Large international/national competitions held in Ireland which showcase Ireland’s sustainable angling tourism product and contribute sustainably to economic growth in rural regions, supporting jobs and businesses (Maximum €3,000 per event). 
    • Awards will be banded based on levels of participation achieved, higher levels of participation and longer duration events will receive higher awards. Final award may be lower than initial award amount if anticipated participation levels are lower than actual participation.
  • Novice angler events & training courses which increase participation in angling, reinforcing sustainable angling methods and fish welfare (Maximum €500 per event/course).
    • Awards will be banded based on levels of participation achieved, higher levels of participation and multiple events/longer duration events will receive higher awards. Final award may be lower than initial award amount if anticipated participation levels are lower than actual participation.
  • Staff attendance at educational events in person or online e.g., class visit, field trip, Green schools or request for IFI attendance at public events e.g., open day, fish display, angling display.
  • Information dissemination / initiatives to promote fisheries awareness / conservation and protection of the inland fisheries and sea angling resource / promotion of angling as a key sustainable Irish tourism activity e.g.  seminars / coaching / training / workshops / fieldtrips etc.
  • Support of juvenile and minority angling teams representing Ireland at international events both home and abroad (Maximum of €500 per team).

For the purposes of the support material and sponsorship application form, Event is used to describe any appropriate inland fisheries, recreational angling, education and awareness or other appropriate event, competition, item, initiative etc. as described above.

The IFI Sponsorship Programme aims to increase awareness of IFI, its work, recreational angling in Ireland and the inland fisheries resource. IFI may support events on the basis of:

  • Location and nature of the Event;
  • Potential of the Event to introduce new users to angling in an active capacity, i.e., not just as spectators;
  • Education/Increased awareness/Empowerment of stakeholders in the areas of recreational angling/environmental/commercial fisheries/habitat issues/increasing tourism offering;
  • Development of non-established Events; Support of established events
  • Increased participation in National & International Events for juvenile/female/anglers of disability.
  • Distribution of sponsorship across all angling disciplines and all River Basin Districts in equal proportions where possible;
  • Promotion of equal opportunities events.
  • Promotion of Events that can draw large numbers/repeat visits of angling participants to rural areas

Children and Vulnerable Adults

Event organisers should follow the Children First National Guidance 2017 on working with children. You will find this at the link below. As per the Children First Act 2015 and the National Vetting Bureau (Children and Vulnerable Persons) Act 2012 all event organisers and those assisting in the event must be Garda Vetted. https://www.tusla.ie/uploads/content/Children_First_National_Guidance_2017.pdf

Sponsorship Application Form

The Application Form is designed to ensure that IFI has the necessary information to evaluate the application. The Privacy Notice outlines the categories of personal data collected and processed by IFI for the purposes of evaluating and processing your application.

Submission Deadline

All applicants for financial support must complete and submit the online Sponsorship Application before  January 20th, 2023. Applications will not be assessed until AFTER the submission closing dates. Applications for non-financial support can be submitted at any time.

Late or incomplete application forms will not be assessed. It is the responsibility of the person/organisation seeking support to ensure the application is received in time to meet the deadline. There is no automatic entitlement to support from IFI. IFI’s decision is final.

Freedom of Information

IFI is subject to the provisions of the Freedom of Information Act 2014 and the European Communities (Access to Information on the Environment) Regulations 2007 to 2014 and therefore has to consider any request made to it under both of these statutory laws.
If you consider that any part of your application would be subject to any of the statutory exclusions under that Act please so indicate in your application, specifying under which exemption you believe the content should be excluded.

Health and Safety

The Event Organisers must adhere to all the relevant Health and Safety Legislation and carry out all necessary risk assessments, checks and procedures to safeguard the Event participants and spectators. Covid 19 mitigation measures must be in place as advised by the HSE and Government guidelines must be adhered to.

In IFI sponsored Events on inland waterways where participation or administration/stewarding activities require participants to go afloat on board a boat, float tube, kayak or other type of vessel, a lifejacket must be worn by all individuals involved in these activities. For sea angling Events, life Jackets must be worn by all participants, stewards and organisers where required by law. Organisers are asked to postpone those Events where weather conditions forecast, particularly wind (Beaufort 6/Strong Breeze and above), are not conducive to safe angling or where Met Eireann issue weather warnings; otherwise, they may forego any awards granted. 

Change of Dates

In awarding sponsorship support, IFI may require event organisers to change the event dates, where congestion occurs or to provide for better clustering of complimentary activities i.e., dates of events changed to maximise spread of angling activity/opportunity.

Sponsorship criteria

Angling Event Applications will be assessed according to the following criteria and assigned a score with support proportionally awarded to the highest scoring Events. Only Events which meet the essential criteria will be considered.

Event duration and participation levels are used to estimate the economic/coaching impact for each event and other factors under consideration include:

International Events held in Ireland

  • Organised by an Angling Federation/National Body/Other;
  • Majority of participants from overseas;
  • Must be equal opportunities events;
  • Be a recreational angling event on waters under the remit of IFI or raise awareness of the commercial use of inland fisheries;
  • Give due regard for the environment, ecology and biodiversity of the waters by a) implementing the principles of Leave No Trace’ and 
    b) ensuring that bio-security measures are in place in line with IFI recommendations;
  • Have public liability insurance and insurance that indemnifies IFI against claim.
  • Have Garda vetting and child protection training in place for underage events
  • Fish welfare initiatives/catch and release are promoted and practiced.

National Events & Novice Angler Events

  • Organised by local clubs/organisations;
  • Must be open to non-club members;
  • Must be equal opportunities events;
  • Be a recreational angling event on waters under the remit of IFI or raise awareness of the commercial use of inland fisheries;
  • Attract new anglers in an active capacity and not just as spectators;
  • Give due regard for the environment, ecology and biodiversity of the waters by
    a) implementing the principles of Leave No Trace’ and 

    b) ensuring that bio-security measures are in place in line with IFI recommendations;

Post Event Evaluation

The organisers of the Event are required to submit an IFI Event Report Form with detailed accounts of angling returns (where applicable), press cuttings, photographs, details of participation and attendance. Events/organisers who do not return completed report forms to IFI as required may be deemed ineligible for future sponsorship funding.

Photography

Any photographs taken at the Event by or on behalf of IFI or provided by the Event Organisers may be used in IFI publications, Facebook or website etc. Events that include children aged under 18 must seek the written permission of parents/guardians to take photographs and must inform them for what purpose the images will be used.

DESIRABLE CRITERIA

Development of non-established Events

Where possible, support will be assigned to assist with the development of new Events which provide additional opportunities to attract more users to recreational angling.

Leave No Trace initiatives

The Leave No Trace programme is designed to help outdoor enthusiasts to value the natural environment, to understand the impact of their activities and to enable them to make decisions to minimise that impact while still enjoying their activities with freedom.

The seven principles of Leave No Trace are:

  • Plan Ahead and Prepare
  • Be Considerate of Others
  • Respect Farm Animals and Wildlife
  • Travel and Camp on Durable Ground
  • Leave What You Find
  • Dispose of Waste Properly
  • Minimise the Effects of Fire

Events should be organised with due consideration to Leave No Trace where applicable. For more information on Leave No Trace see http://www.leavenotraceireland.org/

 

 

Evaluation and Notification

  • IFI will evaluate all submissions in line with the sponsorship evaluation criteria while taking note of any developments arising out of discussions taking place between the Minister of State and the angling federations.
  • After the closing date and advise applicants of each outcome in writing.
  • If sponsorship is approved, the applicant will be sent a letter of offer containing the conditions of sponsorship which must be signed and returned.
  • If sponsorship is not approved, the applicant will be advised.

Insurance

IFI strives to manage risk associated with events taking place on fisheries in its care. To ensure that event organisers have appropriately assessed the risk associated with their event on IFI fisheries, IFI has divided events into two categories each with different insurance verification standards;

Category 1 (LOW Risk) Events

This category includes events:

  • Where any water-based activity is appropriately equipped using qualified personnel at the appropriate supervisor-to-participant ratios (as deemed by the sports organising authority);
  • From accredited or suitable applicants, i.e., a constituted club or organisation with a history of running similar activities or event organisers / supervisors who are accredited in the activity proposed and have ongoing insurance.

Category 1 events may be required to submit the name of their insurance company, the policy number and date of expiry.

Category 2 (HIGH Risk) Events

This category focuses on events which include water activity which;

  • Is predominately motor-powered;
  • Has a multiple number of waterside or waterway activities within the event; and/or
  • Is organised by an ad-hoc committee.

Category 2 events must have their insurance company complete an Insurance Verification Form and return it for verification by an independent insurance assessor. 
Powered events are considered to be those where the engine used in the craft exceeds 10hp.

The insurance verification process must be completed a minimum of three weeks before the event takes place.

Conditions of Support

The conditions of support may include some or all of the following:

  • that IFI must be acknowledged in all promotional material; other schemes involving IFI support will also be acknowledged where applicable (Dublin Angling Initiative; Angling for Youth Development Ireland; Midland Fisheries Fund; Salmon Conservation Fund etc.);
