THIRD PARTY FUNDRAISING

It is so, SO marvelous that you'd like to raise funds in support of our mission! Immense thanks! A past Board Member and Autistic, Madi Holcomb, helped to develop these helpful tips and procedures. 

Should someone outside of Camp Encourage want to raise funds on behalf of Camp Encourage (by means of selling products, by holding an event, etc.), the below guidelines must be referenced.

Approval

  • Items sold for Camp Encourage’s benefit must be cleared by Camp Encourage Staff and/or Board of Directors before they go on sale.
  • Camp Encourage will not repost or promote items not approved by Camp Encourage on social media under official Camp Encourage accounts.
  • Camp Encourage reserves the right to refuse association with any third party, up to and including declining donations.

Benefits of Approval

  • Camp Encourage will repost and promote items approved by Camp Encourage on social media.
  • Camp Encourage may create new posts promoting items approved by Camp Encourage for social media under official Camp Encourage accounts.
  • Items approved by Camp Encourage may be promoted at Camp Encourage events.
  • Only items approved by Camp Encourage will be considered for Camp Encourage branding (ie, having the name Camp Encourage or the logo on the item).

Camp Encourage Brand Guidelines

  • Camp Encourage approved items should be in line with Camp Encourage values and mission statements.
  • Camp Encourage promotes Autism Acceptance, which is a step beyond Autism Awareness, and items should reflect this value.
  • To honor the preferences of individuals on the autism spectrum, Camp Encourage prefers to use the following language: individual on the autism spectrum, autistic individual, autistic. Further, Camp Encourage prefers to avoid the following terms: disorder, person with autism, and autism spectrum disorder.
  • Camp Encourage is not affiliated with any other nonprofit organization and does not use other autism organizational branding or associated symbols on Camp Encourage items. This includes the puzzle piece symbol and #LightItUpBlue.
  • Camp Encourage prefers using community sourced symbols such as the rainbow infinity symbol and the gold infinity symbol.
  • At all times, it is preferred that the Camp Encourage Brand Guide is referenced and embedded. Contact us at info@campencourage.org to access this document.
