HOW TO GET STARTED

If you are interested in hosting a fundraising event and designating KCSARC as the beneficiary of the money raised at the event, the first step is to contact KCSARC and let us know:

  • Your name, organization (if applicable), and how to contact you.
  • What kind of event you have in mind. Some ideas for events include: bowl-a-thon, auction, poker night, donating the proceeds of ticket sales for a theater or dance performance.
  • How you plan to publicize the event, and encourage people to attend.

KCSARC IS ABLE TO:

  • Acknowledge direct contributions to KCSARC, and provide donors with letters thanking them for their gifts
  • Provide and approve the use of our logo to ensure proper reproduction and usage according to agency’s graphic standards
  • Assist donors in directing contributions toward areas of special interest or areas of need within the agency
  • Provide a letter of authorization to be used to validate the authenticity of the event and its organizers
  • As appropriate, list the event on the KCSARC website and Facebook page, and provide recognition of fund raising efforts post-event
  • Provide KCSARC brochures, pamphlets, and other informational materials as requested
  • As available, provide staff to attend the event

UNFORTUNATELY, KCSARC IS UNABLE TO:

  • Provide our tax exemption number (as a third party event, KCSARC is not directly involved)
  • Offer funding or reimbursement for expenses
  • Share mailing lists of donors or vendors
  • Provide KCSARC stationery
  • Provide assistance with marketing or promoting your event or project
