ORGANIZE A FUND RAISING
If you wish to organize a fundraising event to raise the donations necessary for your participation in the PowerDog competition, you must first notify us. We will evaluate with you the feasibility of your donation collection and provide you with the necessary support documents:
- Letter of authorization to solicit donations and/or sponsorships;
- Official logo of the Mira Foundation and its standards of use;
- Sample solicitation letter; Tax receipt report.
Promotion
Promote your fundraising on social media. Mobilize your loved ones by asking them to share your donation collection page, which could even encourage them to want to collect donations too.
Solicitation
People wishing to support you can make an online donation by credit card via your donation collection page. A tax receipt will be sent to them automatically by email. You can use this form for donations by check and cash, which must be sent to the Mira Foundation.
Criteria to respect
The Mira Foundation encourages organizers to add a personal touch to their events. However, certain criteria must be respected:
- You must specify in the name of your event that the funds collected will be donated to the Mira Foundation (e.g. Supper in the Dark “for the benefit of the Mira Foundation”);
- It is prohibited to raise funds through door-to-door solicitation;
- It is prohibited to use the GoFundMe platform to raise funds;
- It is prohibited to use the name and brand of Mira for the sale of commercial products or services (except in an agreement with our main partners);
- It is prohibited to raise funds in the form of lottery games in the name of the Mira Foundation;
- The Mira Foundation cannot accept any form of fundraising/activity/prize offered/point of sale for the benefit of Mira having a link with any other pet store or animal product trade than Mondou, its main sponsor. Volunteer organizers of third-party fundraising activities must also respect this agreement and cannot associate other animal product businesses with their event.
