It is important that independent fundraising events or promotions complement the brand, adhere to the core values and enhance the reputation and goals we have worked hard to cultivate. We respectfully request that you adhere to the following guidelines when planning your event:

• Complete and Submit an Event Proposal: Organizers are asked to complete a printed Event Proposal (mail to address on form) or an electronic Event Proposal and submit it to fundraising@pscpartners.org at PSC Partners for approval. We will review all submissions and reply within 10 business days. No amendment, modification or waiver of any of the terms and conditions submitted will be valid unless in writing signed both by you and an authorized representative of PSC Partners. You agree that you will not assign, subcontract or in any way transfer any of the obligations, duties or responsibilities as accepted in your proposal without prior written permission and acceptance from PSC Partners.
• Identify PSC Partners as the Beneficiary: PSC Partners may only be identified as the beneficiary of the event, rather than the event host or sponsor. For example, an event cannot be called a PSC Partners Event; rather it must be called an event with proceeds benefiting PSC Partners.
• Clearly State the Percentage of Proceeds Donated to PSC Partners When Promoting the Event: For legal reasons, if PSC Partners is not receiving 100% of the event proceeds, the public must be clearly informed in all promotional communications of the net amount that will be donated to PSC Partners. All promotional materials must clearly state the exact percentage of the proceeds and/or the portion of the ticket price that will benefit PSC Partners. (ex: 75% of the proceeds to benefit PSC Partners or $5 of every ticket to benefit PSC Partners)
• Provide Insurance, Licenses, Permits, Release and/or Waivers: The organization and execution of events are the sole responsibility of the independent event organizers. Event organizers are responsible for securing ALL necessary permits, licenses, games of chance licenses, liquor licensing and insurance where applicable. PSC Partners accepts no liability for any errors, omissions, penalties or fees incurred by the fundraising event. Event organizers agree to comply with all Federal, State and local charitable solicitation statutes, regulations and ordinances that affect or apply to the fundraising activities authorized by this agreement.
• Follow Logo and Correspondence Guidelines: Event-related publicity or promotions in which the PSC Partners name or logo is used on printed materials or online MUST be submitted to PSC Partners and receive our approval in advance of release to the public. PSC Partners will review and respond as soon as possible. The official PSC Partners logos may not be altered in any way and we reserve the right to refuse their use at any time. When possible, please include the following contact information on all event materials: “For more information about PSC Partners Seeking a Cure, please email contactus@pscpartners.org or go to www.pscpartners.org.”
• Keep Complete and Accurate Financial Records: Event organizers are responsible for keeping complete financial records and bookkeeping with respect to all funds and donations collected in conjunction with the event. For a period of one year after your proceeds have been submitted to us, PSC Partners may, upon fifteen days prior notice to you, inspect and audit event financial records.
• No Expenses to PSC Partners: PSC Partners will not incur any expenses or provide funds/sponsorship at any time before, during or after the event. We recommend organizers strive to maintain expenses at no more than 10% of the total event revenue.
• No Tax Deductions Available Unless Donation is Submitted Directly to PSC Partners: A donation solicited on behalf of PSC Partners, either in-kind or cash, is tax deductible ONLY when it is made directly and entirely to PSC Partners. No goods or services may be received in return for your contribution which is tax deductible to the full extent allowed by law.
• Provide Detailed Sponsor and/or Donor Information: PSC Partners requires a list of any donors/sponsors who are providing more than $250 in either financial or in-kind contributions so that we may acknowledge their generous support. Detailed sponsor/donor information includes the amount and type of payment in addition to the donor’s name, address and email.
• Proceeds to PSC Partners Within 30 Days: Event proceeds should be submitted to PSC Partners within 30 days from the date of event.
  • Checks for event proceeds must be made payable to PSC Partners Seeking a Cure and mailed to our office at 5237 S Kenton Way, Englewood, CO 80111. In the memo line of the check, please write the name of the event and donor’s email if available.
  • Any cash that is donated must be converted into a check by your event coordinator. In the memo line of the check, please write “Cash Donations” and the name of the event.
• Send PSC Partners Collected Email Addresses: Forward donor email addresses for expedited processing and acknowledgement of donations. No e-mail addresses will be sold or shared and will be used exclusively for the processing of donations and foundation updates only.
• Inform PSC Partners About Media Coverage: PSC Partners must be informed and receive a copy of any media coverage of the event (TV, radio, press, internet, etc.).
• Indemnification: Hosting organization or individuals agree to indemnify, defend and hold PSC Partners harmless, including its directors, officers, employees, agents and volunteers from and against all suits, claims, demands, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or relating in any way to your business and the fundraising activities authorized by this agreement with PSC Partners.
• Termination: Either PSC Partners or the hosting organization may terminate this agreement at either party’s convenience after providing notice to the other party. In the event of termination, all funds collected on behalf of PSC Partners will be remitted as stated above.

After reading over the above guidelines, please fill out and mail the  PSC Partners Event Proposal Form or submit it electronically with the information specific to your fundraising plan.
