3rd Party Fundraisers

A Third Party Event is any fundraising activity by a non-affiliated group or individual where Butte Humane Society has no fiduciary responsibility and little or no staff involvement. (Examples include donation drives, fundraising parties and bake sales.)

The path to launching a third party event typically begins with an idea and plan of action that is presented to Butte Humane Society. Event organizers must obtain their own liability insurance to cover the event. Click here to view helpful tips and guidelines for planning a special event!

The time and effort that you put into such event will benefit the thousands of injured, neglected or abandoned animals we care for each year at Butte Humane Society. No matter how large or small, your contribution will make a big difference in the lives of our animals.

Rules & Guidelines

The third party event hosts are responsible for all aspects of the event, including; organizing, funding, planning, promoting, managing and staffing. BHS is unable to provide assistance with any of these aspects. (For instance, we cannot pay for any event-related costs, provide mailing lists, send e-mail blasts or direct mail promoting the event, ensure attendance, etc.) Requests for BHS staff, volunteers and/or animals to attend your event are handled on a case-by case basis, but cannot be guaranteed.

Upon approval, you may, in most instances, use the BHS name and logo. BHS must pre-approve all flyers, press releases, publications and any other event promotional materials. All materials must clearly indicate that the event is not sponsored by BHS. It is important that the shelter name and logo be used correctly and spelled properly. Always refer to the organization as Butte Humane Society (not simply the Humane Society). The logo may be reproduced in all black or in all white (on a black or equally dark background.) For color print jobs the color logo should be used.
