CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION PARTNERS IN CARING PROGRAM COMMUNITY SERVICES LEAGUE
Thank you
for your interest in hosting a fundraiser for the Community Services League (CSL) Centennial Celebration! As a non-profit, we rely generously on the support of caring community members like you, and your support will help us provide emergency relief, housing assistance and job assistance to those we serve. Whether you’re considering having a drive to collect items, a causemarketing promotion to donate a portion of sales, or an event to raise funds, the following steps and guidelines apply to all fundraising activities taking place for the benefit of Community Services League. 1. SUBMIT THE APPLICATION Please complete and submit the Fundraiser Application. Fill out attached form and return by mail or email, or submit online at www.CSL100.com/FundraiserApplication. 2. NOTIFICATION OF APPROVAL Upon receipt and review of your Fundraiser Application, CSL will provide you with notification of approval. 3. REVIEW OF PLANS WITH CSL A representative from CSL will contact you to learn more about your specific plans, answer any questions and determine how we can best be of assistance to your fundraiser. When planning your fundraiser, please consider the following guidelines: •CSL should be listed as the beneficiary of your fundraiser but should not be used in the title (for example ABC’s 5k benefitting CSL is appropriate, but CSL 5k is not). •As required by the IRS, it is necessary to indicate the percentage of net proceeds that will be donated when promoting the fundraiser. If 100% of the net proceeds are being donated, you are welcome to specify “100%” or “all,” or you may also choose to just say “benefitting CSL.” If less than 100% of net proceeds are being donated, it is necessary to specifically indicate the actual percentage in any promotional and informational materials and communications. •Your fundraiser must comply with all federal, state and local laws, and it is the responsibility of the fundraiser organizer to obtain any necessary permits, licenses and/or insurance. •Should aspects of your proposed fundraiser materially change during the planning process, please advise your CSL representative. •If circumstances warrant or if CSL is notified or becomes aware of practices that are incongruent with these guidelines or are misaligned with our mission, CSL may direct you to modify, cease or cancel the fundraiser
4. RECEIVE MATERIALS OR ASSISTANCE FROM CSL Based on the type of fundraiser you’re hosting and what assistance you’d like, CSL will provide a combination of the following supports to help your fundraiser succeed: •Centennial Celebration logo and CSL logo •Calendar listing on our external website and internal calendar •Promotion through internal networks and, on a case-by-case basis, through our external networks, including social media
Please note that CSL is unable to provide the following supports: extend use of our tax
exemption status; provide insurance coverage; sign contracts or book facilities or vendors on behalf of the fundraiser; provide funding or reimbursements for expenses; provide mailing lists of donors; mail invitations; assume any type of liability for the fundraiser; or, guarantee attendance of staff, volunteers or patients at the fundraiser.
5. SEND YOUR DONATION AND EVENT RECAP TO CSL Within 30 days of the completion of your fundraiser, please send the donated proceeds to the address below. Include a summary of your event and any photos you would like to share. Please email photos to cowand@cslcares.org.
