Can I use the POW Canada logo?
Yes! You are welcome to put "My #ClimbforClimate fundraiser is in support of" beside the POW Canada logo. You can also add the GURU and FATMAP logo as well. These logos are linked here for your convenience.
Please do not have the POW Canada logo as a main logo image at the top of your challenge imagery or website.
Please do not say that your challenge is "in partnership with POW Canada", instead please clarify that it is "in support of POW Canada".
Can we get POW Canada stickers or apparel for the event?
We recognize the incredible support requesting our apparel could bring POW Canada through your fundraiser, however at this time we do not have an apparel program that can support external fundraisers selling our merchandise. You are welcome to purchase apparel from our store, linked here.
As a climate advocacy nonprofit we are very cognizant of how we print our apparel, who we print our apparel with, and the waste and carbon footprint involved in the creation of our apparel. Printing our logo on apparel to sell at your fundraiser would be against our values as a nonprofit and such action would receive an immediate cease and desist.
If you are looking to resell the stickers to add to your fundraised donation amount our prices for stickers are as follows:
- Large stickers: $4.99
- Small stickers are: $2.99
We ask that you remain with that pricing if selling the stickers at your fundraiser and include the revenue from your sticker sales in your donation.
Can I share the POW Canada mission if I am asked to speak at an event?
Absolutely! Linked here is a presentation that you are welcome to use at your fundraiser. This presentation is meant to share a bit more about who POW Canada is and what we do so that your supporters know who they are supporting. When presenting POW Canada we ask that you clarify that you are not a representative for POW Canada, instead you are hosting a fundraiser to support POW Canada.
Can I encourage people along the way to become members?
We would love that! Head to your Game On profile and click "JOIN THROUGH ME" and copy the link to that page, including your recruiter ID. Share that link with anyone you would like to invite!
What if I don't raise any funds? Do I have to donate the funds if I raise very little.
Transparent reporting is of fundamental importance for POW Canada. Whether you raise $1, $100, or $1000 - your donation means the world to our programming. Every dollar counts. When someone donates through your fundraiser and believes they are donating to POW Canada we hope to see that promise realized.
Luckily, Go Fund Me deals with all of the financial transfer of your donors funds to POW Canada - so you won't have to worry about any transfers of funds!
