3rd Party Fundraisers
Give the gift of togetherness with family and friends
Types of 3rd-Party Fundraisers
There are two kinds of 3rd-party fundraisers:
1. A group or individual can host an event or sponsor an activity and make Ronald McDonald House Charities Wichita the beneficiary.
(Example: An organization hosts a golf tournament and gives RMHC Wichita a check for the net profits.)
2. RMHC Wichita can "piggy back" on an existing event, adding a 3rd-party fundraising element, and receive the income produced from that element.
(Example: A city has a walkathon and the sponsor offers participants the opportunity to get pledges for RMHC Wichita.)
Fundraising Guidelines
RMHC Wichita has a set of guidelines that we ask all individual and organizations to follow when fundraising on behalf of Ronald McDonald House Charities Wichita.
* We ask that you do not organize a 3rd-party fundraiser that includes lotteries, gambling, fortune telling, and raffles/drawings without first discussing it with our Development Manager.
* Any 3rd-party event that requires any type of license or proof of insurance should first be discussed with and approved by our Development Manager.
RMHC Wichita cannot solicit money for a 3rd-party event and have checks made payable to the 3rd-party. Checks must be made payable to RMHC Wichita (and be added to the proceeds received after the event) or we cannot be involved in the solicitation.
* The 3rd-party event fundraising activity should be one that does not conflict with the cause, mission and values of RMHC Wichita.
*RMHC Wichita requires accurate use of its name and logo in all promotional materials. All materials shall be approved by the Development Manager prior to distribution.
* A 3rd-party fundraiser should not conflict with an existing and/or standard RMHC Wichita event.
* RMHC Wichita does not insure any 3rd-party event or fundraiser.
