Fundraiser and Sponsership Policies
I love supporting my community through fundraisers and charitable events. To ensure transparency and fairness, I follow the guidelines below when donating services, gift certificates, or raffle items.
1. Registered Nonprofits & Schools
I prioritize donations to registered nonprofits and schools. Donations may include service gift certificates or curated gift baskets depending on the event.
Requirements:
• The organization must be a registered nonprofit, school, or school-affiliated program.
• Donations must be used specifically for the purpose described in the request (ex: auction, raffle, fundraising event, etc.).
• If the fundraiser is promoted publicly, I appreciate being tagged in social media posts or receiving a copy of the event flyer when possible. This helps participants know the donation is legitimate and connected to my business.
2. Private Team or Individual Fundraisers
I occasionally support private teams, clubs, or individual fundraising efforts (such as sports teams) through a raffle-style fundraiser.
For these fundraisers:
• The organizer is responsible for selling raffle tickets and collecting the funds.
• The organizer sets the ticket price and keeps all funds raised for the fundraiser.
• The organizer collects entrant contact information (name, phone number, and email).
• The contact list is provided to me, and I will draw the raffle winner on the agreed-upon date.
• I will provide the gift certificate directly to the winner.
For transparency, I ask that:
• I am tagged in any social media posts promoting the fundraiser or
• I receive a copy of the event flyer or promotional materials.
This ensures participants know the donation is legitimate and that I am connected to the fundraiser.
3. Bonus Offer for Raffle Participants
For raffles I sponsor, anyone who enters but does not win will receive a 30% off any service offer as a thank-you for supporting the fundraiser. This can help make the raffle more appealing and potentially increase participation.
4. Donation Limits
To ensure I can continue supporting community efforts while maintaining my business schedule, donations may be limited based on availability throughout the year.
5. Requesting a Donation
When requesting a donation, please include:
• Organization or team name
• Type of fundraiser
• Date of event or raffle drawing
• How the funds will be used
• Contact person and phone/email
Thank you for supporting local small businesses and for the work you do in the community.
