Community events are a creative and wonderful way to raise money and community goodwill in support of Boost Child Abuse Prevention & Intervention.
A community event is a fundraising event held by an individual, group or organization to support Boost. Boost wants to help make your event a success and we have developed the Community Events Toolkit to assist you and your team in planning a fun, well-organized and successful fundraising event in support of our cause.
- providing forms and checklists for event and sponsorship packages, control sheets for sponsorship contracts and donors, pledge sheets, and event bid sheets for use at auctions.
- promoting your event through our Events page on Boost’s website and/or providing a link to your website with Boost’s approval.
- developing a local media list for press releases and advertising;
- approving the wording for the event promotional materials (you must obtain permission to use the logo, name and any materials with our name);
- offering advice and expertise on event planning;
- attending the event or cheque presentation when and if requested;
Boost Logo Policy:
When your event has been approved (please use our Event Proposal Form) by Boost, you will receive a file containing a stylized “Proceeds to Boost.” This is only given to approved events.
If you have any questions regarding the use of the Boost name in relation to your event, please contact Coordinator, Fundraising & Special Events at 416.515.1100 ext. 224 or email: brett@boostforkids.org
Do you need to set up a bank account?
Your event may require that some expenses be paid in order to generate funds for Boost. We suggest that after filling out the Revenue and Expense section of our Event Proposal form that you carefully consider your payment options.
By setting up a charitable event bank account, which may be available to you at no cost, you will have the ability to process payments and expenses regarding your upcoming event. For example, if you are organizing a golf tournament, unless the course is being donated to you, there will be an expense pertaining to the “course fee”. Once acquiring a portion of sponsorship monies or perhaps ticket monies, or registration fees, the costs such as green fees can be paid from your charity event bank account. Please speak to your bank manager for more information.
