Give Back Events & Third Party Fundraiser Guidelines
Thank you for your interest in hosting a community give back event or fundraiser to support the efforts of the Autism Society of Texas! Our mission is to improve the lives of all those impacted by Autism by connecting individuals and families to information, resources, and support throughout Texas. We could not carry out our mission without the support of wonderful community members!
Please read the following carefully and then fill out the below form to help us get a better idea of your event and how we can best support you. Once we receive this form, we will review it and follow up with you.
GUIDELINES: Because we are an affiliate of the Autism Society of America, below are some rules and guidelines that we ask you to follow in order to comply with both the national and our own local standards.
- Your fundraiser and all related details/items must be approved by us to make sure everything falls within the Autism Society’s guidelines and stays consistent with our mission.
- Potential third-party fundraisers and community events must support our mission and organizers must be in good standing with the Autism Society.
- The Autism Society will only notify our constituents of the event details, such as date, time and place and cannot ask them for further participation i.e. additional fundraising, etc.
- Any and all use of our affiliate logo and organization name for marketing and promotion purposes must be approved by us.
Each potential community event or fundraiser will be considered individually; however, the following may not be approved by our committee:
- Any event that falls too closely to a large Autism Society fundraiser
- Any event that relies too heavily on our staff and/or volunteer base
-Any event that does not agree to get an event insurance policy, as determined by AST Staff
- Any event that requires us to sell merchandise, tickets, coupons, etc. or provide the above to be sold; however, you are allowed to acquire merchandise on your own and suggest a donation amount for that merchandise (i.e. “X amount for registration or suggested donation amount”). Items being sold MUST be approved by the Autism Society of Texas. Thank you!
