So you want to host an event to benefit the American Red Cross?
A 3rd party fundraising event is when a corporation, community group, school or individual hosts an event or program to benefit the local American Red Cross, National Disaster Relief Fund or International Response Fund.
The event or program is planned and executed by the corporation, community group, school or individual hosting the activity. The American Red Cross cannot guarantee volunteer, publicity or material support of a 3rd party event.
The group making the donation will receive a receipt. Please make sure that your donors and sponsors understand, that anyone making a cash donation to the 3rd party fundraising event will not receive an individual receipt from the Red Cross as we will not be able to track who made each of the individual donations. Only cash donations made directly to a Red Cross office or staff/volunteer will receive a receipt.
The Red Cross appreciates the generous spirit of the American public, but we must also consider all 3rd party proposals carefully to ensure they are in line with the programs, services and image of the American Red Cross. We understand that people have the best of intentions and want to make a difference, therefore we will review each proposal carefully, but there is no guarantee of approval.
PROPOSAL
Please completely fill out the proposal and return it to the Financial Development department at the American Red Cross, Broward County Chapter. Proposals must be received at least 3 weeks before an event or program is to commence. The proposal will be reviewed in 3-4 days and a representative will call for follow up.
If this proposal is being submitted during a large scale national disaster, please be patient, someone will get back to you as soon as possible.
