What is a third-party fundraiser?
Any individual or organization that organizes and hosts an event, promotion, sale, or donation drive on behalf of CCVI is defined as a “third-party fundraiser.” Whether you’d like to host a happy hour, bake sale, or art auction, CCVI will help you get started in order to fundraise for our students.
Examples of Third-Party Fundraisers include:
Book Sales
Car Washes
Concerts
Craft Sales
Garage Sales
Parties
Restaurant Night
Wine Tasting
Donation Day, Shake Shack
Third-party event guidelines
The host is considered the fundraiser organizer, and is responsible for organizing, promoting, and executing the event. The third-party fundraiser must submit a Third-Party Event Application to CCVI’s Development Department at least 30 days in advance of the proposed event date. If multiple events are proposed, a proposal must be submitted for each.
Third-party fundraisers must be financially self-sustaining without contribution from or financial risk to CCVI. CCVI will only accept the net proceeds of a third-party fundraiser. All third-party event expenses are the responsibility of the third-party event organizer. CCVI is not responsible for and cannot reimburse for expenses incurred as part of a third-party fundraiser.
The third-party fundraiser must submit all publicity and promotional material containing CCVI’s name and/or logo to CCVI’s Development Department for review and approval prior to publication and distribution of these materials. CCVI will provide guidelines, agency materials, and tax acknowledgments. CCVI will also assist in promoting the fundraiser via social media.
CCVI is committed to protecting the privacy of its students, families, donors, volunteers, and staff. CCVI will not sell or share any donor names or contact information.
CCVI retains the right to decline any event if it conflicts with its mission, fundraising efforts, or event calendar.
