Visions Global Empowerment A global nonprofit organization serving youth and communities through education A 501(c)(3) registered charitable organization in the U.S. Federal Tax ID# 26‐3386678 1621 Barry Ave. #PH1, Los Angeles, CA, 90025 www.visionsforthefuture.org VISIONS FUNDRAISING GUIDELINES Visions Global Empowerment is an organization that relies on the generosity of our private donors as our main source of income. As such, we are very grateful to all who support us in our many efforts and encourage such support. However, there are important guidelines that must be adhered to in order for Visions to meet its legal and fiscal responsibilities. Visions wishes to make the following disclaimer: *Visions Global Empowerment (“Visions”), including all subsequent domestic and international chapters, reserves the right to do a background check on any and all donors to the organization (be they individual, corporate, organizational, foundation, or other) and refuse any donation for any reason it deems appropriate. Visions encourages your support and enthusiasm in coordinating and implementing fundraising events on our behalf or for specific projects sponsored by our organization. Given our limited capacity to be directly involved in any event or fundraiser done on behalf of Visions, we have outlined two types of support that Visions is able to give in order to meet the particular needs of your fundraising event. These are an “official sponsorship” and a “beneficiary/recipient agreement”. 1. OFFICIAL SPONSORSHIP: Under an official sponsorship, Visions agrees to serve as “official sponsor” of the event. For all agreements of this nature, the following guidelines apply: 1. All parties involved agree to keep this event strictly non‐political and focused on the humanitarian needs of the people affected. No political speech, symbols, literature, or other politically‐motivated avenues may be used at this event. 2. Both parties agree that no speakers not on the agenda will be allowed to speak at the event or to use the event as a forum for their own private purposes. The general content and outline of all speeches, presentations, or any other outreach must be shared with and approved by Visions well in advance. a. Visions agrees to send a representative of the organization to present or otherwise represent Visions at the event, if requested by the event organizers well in advance. 3. All proceeds from the event will be given to Visions to be used at the organization’s discretion either generally or for a specific project, as requested by the event organizers. 4. Visions reserves the right to remove itself as the official charitable sponsor and beneficiary of the proceeds of the fundraiser, if any decision is made or action taken that would contradict the organization’s mission, goals, or general practices.
