Question: Is it illegal to use a business’s logo when they donate to your non-profit?

I am receiving donations for a fundraising event from various local businesses and franchises. I am going to make a booklet exhibiting each donation and I wanted to put the patrons business logo on the page. Is this legal? For instance, Chili’s Restaurant made a donation, can I put the logo at the top of the page??

Answer: Its not illegal and most non-profits do it in this situation. One of the reasons that businesses donate to fundraising events is because its a feel-good way of marketing their business. You may have already found out that the marketing department often handles donations, for just that reason. Also, if this is a recurring event acknowledging your contributers early, often, and publicly is the best way to ensure that you get repeat donations. Ask your contributors for digital images of their logos. That way you get the best quality, you display the logo the way they prefer it, and they know exactly how you plan to acknowledge their contribution. Good luck with your event!

Question: I need ideas for fundraising!?

I’m in yearbook in my school, and there’s only 4 people in it, because they don’t want that much people. Anyways, we really need photo-shop. But it would cost us 2,000$ to get it, because of the licence thingy and for photo-shop itself. Every year in my school, each club or class would open a stand during this day like a fair during school. We really need ideas that would make us alot of money. Help? Ideas?
We need 2,000 dollars, because the newest version of photo-shop is about $900, and if we want to download it to all of the computers, we would need to buy a licence thats like, $900. x.o

Answer: You could do a photo booth where you yearbook students are the photographers. Come up with some creative backdrops or scenery around school and charge students for portraits you take of them. You can charge an additional cost for prints they order. If you don’t have enough time to take photos of students during the fair at school, make a sign up sheet where kids can schedule a portrait-taking time and continue your fundraising that way!
