Third Party Fund Raising

A Third Party Fundraiser is an event planned by a member or organization in the community with proceeds to United Way. While we applaud your decision to fundraise for United Way, we also expect that your event is consistent with the mission and values of United Way.

We are developing a set of guidelines to help you plan your Third Party Fundraiser, here are a few things to be aware of: your event must be approved before you can advertise it as a United Way event and use our logo; proceeds must be received within 30 days of the event; a financial accounting of the event must be received within 30 days of the event in order for eligible income tax receipts to be issued; we may be able to provide volunteer help at your event; we may be able to have a board member or staff speak at your event; we can provide advise or expertise on licensing and insurance coverage. United Way CKL cannot provide: funding or reimbursement of expenses; mailing or donor lists; prizes, auction items or awards; insurance or licenses; we do not accept legal or financial responsibility for third party events.

$10/10 Challenge

Members of other clubs are encouraged to hold their own $10/10 events for United Way CKL.
