Lotterywest grant conditions and documents must be signed by the person legally able to enter into contracts on behalf of your organisation. We refer to this person as the legal signatory.

  • For incorporated organisations, the legal signatory is the Chairperson/President and another committee member
  • For Local Government Authorities, the legal signatory is generally the Chief Executive Officer
  • For Aboriginal Corporations, the legal signatory is usually two Directors
  • For not-for-profit Companies and Trusts, the legal signatory is generally two Directors / or a Director and Company Secretary

Your organisation’s constitution, rules or equivalent document usually sets out who the legal signatory is. Please check those documents if you are not sure.

Your organisation’s legal signatory may choose to give this responsibility to someone else within your organisation - we refer to this person as the ‘Delegated Authority’. If this is the case for your organisation, you need to complete our Delegated Signing Authority Form. A copy is available here.

Please note: you only need to complete this form once and it will remain on our records for future grant applications. You will only need to complete this form again if your legal signatory or ‘Delegated Authority’ changes.
