Parties
Identify full legal names, business types, and contact information for the organizer and fundraiser, including registered charity EIN where applicable.
A clear Fundraising Fundraiser Agreement reduces regulatory risk, documents donor and payment flows, and sets measurable responsibilities between parties. It supports audit readiness, protects charitable status, and helps avoid disputes over fees or use of funds.
Use the agreement to record payment terms, reporting cadence, and key dates so both parties can demonstrate compliance if audited.
Identify full legal names, business types, and contact information for the organizer and fundraiser, including registered charity EIN where applicable.
Describe fundraising activities, geographic limits, channels (telephone, digital, in‑person), and any restricted versus unrestricted donation handling rules.
Specify fees, commissions, reimbursement policies, payment timing, and whether compensation is percentage-based, flat, or expense-reimbursed.
State who issues tax receipts, the timeline for acknowledgments, and required disclosure language for tax-deductible contributions.
Require compliance with state charitable solicitation registration, data privacy laws, and applicable federal rules including ESIGN and record retention.
Include notice periods, grounds for termination, money-handling on termination, and post-termination reporting obligations.
Verify the platform supports your retention and compliance needs, including export of a tamper-evident copy and an auditable certificate of completion.
