Third-Party Events

Hardin County Habitat for Humanity appreciates all who want to help us further our mission. One of the many ways to support HCHFH is by planning an event to raise funds for our Affiliate, known as a “third-party fundraiser.” We are grateful for all funds raised; they help us to continue building locally.

As an event organizer, we ask that you assume the responsibility of creating an event without any (or limited) staff assistance. The nature of these fundraisers limits us because we cannot schedule, budget, or predict a reliable source of revenue from such events. Therefore, we reserve our resources for Habitat-sponsored special events and fundraising efforts, but will be happy to provide support as listed below.

Fundraiser Guidelines

Staff

  •       Generally, Habitat will not provide staff or volunteer support for third-party fundraisers.

Marketing

  •       The Habitat name and logo cannot be used to promote a third-party event without prior staff approval. All approved third-party fundraisers should submit copies of printed materials which include HCHFH’s name/logo prior to printing or posting on a website.
  •       Any contact with media must be coordinated with HCHFH
  •       Terms of the donation shall be advertised in marketing and promotional materials. This includes: the portion of the ticket price which will be donated, the duration of the fundraiser, and any maximum contribution amount set (ex. 50% of profits, one-time donation of $1,000, or all proceeds).

Funding

  •       Please keep accurate accounts of your event. HCHFH will not incur third-party expenses or provide any funds for third-party events. Contributions may be tax-deductible.
  •       If individual donors would like a receipt from Habitat, their donation will need to be made in the form of a personal check payable to Hardin County Habitat for Humanity.
  •       A donation of cash or items solicited on our behalf is tax-deductible only when it is made directly and entirely to HCHFH. We will determine what types of gifts can be considered tax-deductible prior to solicitation, as we are the only agents who can verify the gift to the IRS.
  •       When a portion of the charge or “suggested donation” to the participant is not tax-deductible, a statement to that effect must be included in all appropriate materials.
  •       If your event is held in December, please ensure that gifts and accompanying documentation are turned in or mailed to HCHFH by 12/31. This will ensure that donors are eligible for tax benefits in the calendar year the gift was made.
