Review for Hearts for San Diego, San Diego, CA, USA

Rating: 2 stars  

Based on our fundraiser experience with H4SD, we wanted to share some lessons learned for any nonprofits or other groups who are considering working with them in the future. We all know the pandemic made it a challenging year, but believe these lessons still apply:
(1) Make sure you fully understand the profit sharing terms prior to agreeing to work together and what documentation/accounting will be provided by both parties
(2) Understand and document what expenses will be incurred by/reimbursed to both parties
(3) Understand what you are expected to contribute (time, money, people, merchandise, resources, etc.) for the fundraiser and what is optional
(4) Discuss proper use of social media graphics and soliciting donations during the time period leading up to the fundraiser
(4) Review H4SD's financials and past fundraising events to set expectations
(5) Sign a document covering all of these areas to ensure agreement and transparency.
