The fine print

  1. Children’s Mercy is unable to extend use of its tax-exempt status, provide insurance coverage, sign contracts or book facilities and/or vendors on behalf of your fundraiser; provide funding or reimbursements for expenses; provide mailing and/or emailing lists of donors; mail and/or email invitations; assume any type of liability for the fundraiser; or guarantee attendance of staff, volunteers or patients at the fundraiser.

  2. Children’s Mercy should be listed as the beneficiary of your fundraiser, but not used in the fundraiser name.

  3. The IRS requires that all promotional materials indicate the percentage of net proceeds that will be donated.

  4. Your fundraiser must comply with all federal, state and local laws. It is the responsibility of the organizer to obtain any necessary permits, licenses and/or insurance.

  5. If circumstances warrant or if Children’s Mercy becomes aware of practices that are incongruent with these guidelines or are misaligned with our mission, Children’s Mercy may direct you to modify, cease or cancel the fundraiser.

Best practices: Fundraising guidelines

  • Combine multiple campaigns (e.g., percent of sales and roundup at the register for customers) to have the most impact.

  • Donate at least 20% of sales from fundraising events or short-term activations.

  • Avoid requiring the customer to do anything extra (e.g., use a code or show a flyer).

  • Match customer donations.

  • Promote participation, events and fundraising activities across company social platforms.
