Fundraising Page Guidelines

• Marketing and Promotion
  • Any external person/organization wanting to use the Moffitt name and/or logo must have 
    approval from the Moffitt Marketing team before the production and printing of materials 
    and/or posting any logo or branded content to the internet. Usage of logo must comply with 
    Moffitt's brand guidelines. *Proofs must be shared with Moffitt for review before any print or 
    digital distribution. Any approval provided by Moffitt is valid only during the promotion run 
    time.
  • Moffitt is unable to provide a mailing list of donors, sponsors or vendors.
  • Moffitt is unable to promote or endorse external events, products or services outside of the 
    community partner benefits.
• Budget and Accounting
  • As a community partner, we are certifying our ownership of the event in its entirety and that 
    Moffitt is merely the beneficiary of our fundraising efforts.
  • Event organizer(s) will be responsible for all event logistics and expenses. Once funds are received by Moffitt, they cannot be used to pay any expenses related to the event.
  • Moffitt Cancer Center is unable to designate funds to support a specific patient’s 
    treatment.
  • Funds can be mailed to:
    Moffitt Cancer Center Foundation
    Attention: Community Partner Events
    12902 Magnolia Drive | MBC-FOU | Tampa, FL 33612-9416
  • Funds raised from Community Partner Events must be received within 90 days and made 
    payable to “Moffitt Cancer Center Foundation”.
  • Please be sure to include your event name in the notes field of the check.
• IRS Guidelines
  • Due to IRS guidelines, Moffitt cannot provide a tax exemption certificate for use with any 
    gifts you receive or request.
  • Florida statutes prohibit raffles of any kind. Chance drawings may be conducted if Florida 
    guidelines are followed. Please review this information on the Florida Legislature’s website. 
    www.Leg.State.FL.US
  • We acknowledge that if our organization does not have tax-exempt status, only those 
    payments made directly to Moffitt are tax deductible as charitable contributions.
  • We acknowledge that accounting for sponsorships, donations, and event registrations is 
    ultimately our responsibility as a Community Partner. We further certify that we understand 
    the implications of the tax regulations governing these contributions. We understand that 
    donors must be provided with a receipt for their donations to be tax deductible and that 
    under IRC Section 6115, a good faith estimate of the value of goods or services provided to 
    a donor must be disclosed to the donor for contributions of more than $75.
  • We further acknowledge that we are responsible for determining the fair market value of the 
    goods or services provided to ticket purchasers and sponsors at the fundraising event.
  • We further acknowledge that the GoFundMe Pro system issues a receipt to each contributor including a statement of the total contribution, the fair market value of the benefit received 
    that we have established, and the net of the two amounts which represents the taxdeducible donation to the contributor.
• Internal Guidelines
  • Foundation must approve the organizations/companies that the organizer/committee would 
    like to solicit before any asks are made.
  • Foundation is not responsible for making sponsorship request. All requests must be made 
    by the event organizer/committee.
  • Event organizer/committee will be made responsible for fulfilling sponsorship benefits.
  • Foundation will provide a tax-deductible receipt once payment is received at the 
    Foundation.
  • If you are offering sponsor benefits, the Foundation must review the levels and fair market 
    value. Donated items still need to be included in the FMV.
