Guidelines for Third Party Fundraising for the Ronald McDonald House of Charlotte

Thank you for your interest in fundraising for the Ronald McDonald House of Charlotte. Donations are very im-

portant and greatly appreciated! The Ronald McDonald House of Charlotte strives to be a good steward of the funds

entrusted to us by our supporters, partners and the community, and we ask that this commitment applies to all fund-

raising activities conducted on our behalf. To that end, the following guidelines have been established to serve as a

standard for all fundraising promotions, programs, special events and benefits held on behalf of the Ronald McDon-

ald House of Charlotte by any third party, individual or group (hereafter referred to as the “Sponsor.”)

1. Any and all fundraising activities must be pre-approved by the Development & Communications Director of

the Ronald McDonald House of Charlotte before the Sponsor is authorized to use the Ronald McDonald

House of Charlotte name or logo in any way.

2. All activities must be consistent with the mission of the Ronald McDonald House of Charlotte, non-

controversial and adherent to any and all applicable local, state and federal laws.

3. If the Sponsor represents to the public that a certain amount of money, percentage of proceeds, or profits

will benefit the Ronald McDonald House of Charlotte, the Sponsor should be prepared to provide access to

an accounting of revenues and expenses to the Development & Communications Director if requested. Funds

should be presented to the Ronald McDonald House of Charlotte within 60 days of the event or program’s

end.

4. All promotional material related to the Sponsor’s fundraising efforts (booklets, commercials, etc.) should be

approved by the Development & Communications Director.

5. Sponsor agrees to inform the Ronald McDonald House 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.

6. Please do not solicit raffle items or auction items for third party events. Ronald McDonald House of Charlotte

hosts several events each year involving raffles and auctions, and we need to ensure that we do not exhaust

limited resources.

7. The Ronald McDonald House of Charlotte cannot be responsible for processing funds, negotiating or paying

vendors, solicitations, sales and/or other administrative functions of the Sponsor’s event or program. Spon-

sor should make all arrangements for all vendors, expenses and necessary support.

8. Proposals submitted to the Ronald McDonald House of Charlotte should clearly and specifically state the

fundraising activity plan, timeline, expected attendance/participation, and desired or expected financial con-

tributions.

9. The Ronald McDonald House of Charlotte reserves the right to protect the privacy of our volunteers, clients

and staff. Permission to use names, images, photos, likenesses or other personal information must be se-

cured from both the individual and the Development & Communications Director prior to use by the Spon-

sor.

Each request will be considered individually, and we appreciate your patience as we give each request thoughtful

and thorough consideration! Please use the Ronald McDonald House of Charlotte Third Party Fundraising Application
