- Christ Church Turkey Trot to benefit Doorways.
Thank you for your interest in hosting a fundraising event to benefit Doorways for Women and Families. By hosting a third party event you are helping raise critical funds we need to assist those most in need. We hope the following information will be helpful as you plan your event.
Organizing a Third Party Event
Third party events are sponsored or hosted by individuals, organizations or groups in support of Doorways for Women and Families. If you are interested in hosting a third party event, please submit a completed and signed Third Party Event Proposal Form.
Please take the following questions into consideration:
- Does the event support the mission and image of Doorways?
- What is your goal for this event?
- Cash contributions
- Gift Cards or In-kind Collection
- Introducing people to Doorways
What Doorways can do for you:
- Acknowledge direct contributions to Doorways.
- Approve the use of our name/logo.
- Provide a letter to show the authenticity of your event.
- Provide Doorways’ informational materials for your event.
- Special Events Coordinator and/or appropriate staff member can consult with you about your event.
- In some cases, a Doorways staff member or volunteer may be able to attend your event.
Guidelines:
- As the originator of a third party event or project, you are considered the event organizer. The organization, promotion and execution of the event is your responsibility.
- Doorways cannot reimburse expenses incurred as part of a third‐party fundraiser and we appreciate your funding of the event. By doing so we are able to use our limited resources to help our clients.
- Whenever appropriate and within the context of Doorways’ larger fundraising and communications plan, Doorways will work to ensure its base of supporters are aware of the third party event.
- Doorways has the right to protect the privacy of its clients, donors, volunteers, staff and all others affiliated with Doorways.
- Doorways does not sell or share any donor names or contact information for the third‐party fundraiser.
- Doorways needs to approve publicity materials and use of name and logo.
