The following guidelines have been established to serve as a standard for all fundraising promotions, programs, special events and benefits held on behalf of RMHC of Greater Charlotte by any third party, individual or group (hereafter referred to as the “Sponsor.”)
- All activities must be consistent with the mission of RMHC of Greater Charlotte, non-controversial and adherent to any and all applicable local, state and federal laws.
- Use of RMHC of Greater Charlotte’s name will only be authorized after the completion and approval of the Third-Party Event proposal. Once approved, the Sponsor is authorized to use the name “Ronald McDonald House Charities of Greater Charlotte” only in connection with the fundraising event, and only until the completion of the event or termination of this agreement.
- All press releases, advertisements (i.e. any marketing collateral) must be approved by the Director of Marketing & Communications prior to distribution.
- Due to limited staff and resources, RMHC of Greater Charlotte cannot guarantee assistance in promoting, staffing, and/or speaking the event.
- RMHC of Greater Charlotte is unable to aid in soliciting donations, handling of mailings, attending committee meetings, recruiting attendees, collecting monies or providing access to donors/sponsor/volunteer lists or contacts.
- Sponsors shall perform all things necessary for the successful completion of the fundraising event and shall assume full obligation and responsibility for the payment of all expenses in connection therewith, without regard to the amount of funds collected for the event.
- If the Sponsor represents to the public that a certain amount of money, percentage of proceeds, or profits will benefit the RMHC of Greater Charlotte, the Sponsor should be prepared to provide access to an accounting of revenues and expenses to the Director of Marketing & Communications if requested. Funds should be presented to the RMHC of Greater Charlotte within 60 days of the event or program’s end.
- Sponsor agrees to inform RMHC of Greater Charlotte of any plans to recruit underwriters or sponsors for the fundraising activity. This ensures that there will be no duplication of efforts that may be underway.
- Please do not solicit raffle items or auction items for third-party events. RMHC of Greater Charlotte hosts several events each year involving raffles and auctions and we need to ensure that we do not exhaust limited resources.
